**Rahul Gandhi targeted PM Modi**
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the youngest ‘Anti-PM’ (Opposition Prime Minister) in the history of India.

Who has been punished? The hardworking youth. When these children raised legitimate questions about education, they But they were lathi-charged and taken into custody. The culprits who leaked the papers are roaming freely, while the students who raised legitimate issues are dragged and beaten. This government is not only disappointing the youth but is also taking strict action against them.”

It was claimed that the Prime Minister himself would monitor the process; still, why and how is all this happening? How are so many papers being leaked again and again? This issue should be discussed in detail in Parliament, and the Prime Minister should be made aware of the country’s Crores of youth should be listened to and answered.”
