Don't come in way of protesting students, they are India's voice: Rahul Gandhi to PM Modi
Some of the protesting students also gave an account of the "inhuman" treatment meted out to them at the hands of policemen during their detention
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to obstruct protesting students, emphasizing they represent the nation's voice. The remarks came post a meeting with injured students, including NSUI members, who were hurt during recent protests against CEC Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the SIR process.
Gandhi assured the students that all guilty parties, from the Prime Minister to police constables, would face consequences. Several students recounted inhumane treatment by policemen during their detention. Gandhi pledged the Congress's support, calling them their "lions and lionesses." He criticized Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for standing before the people's voice.
Asserting that all are united as one India, Gandhi challenged the PM to stand before this collective voice. He urged injured students to share evidence of their treatment through videos.
