Rahul Gandhi Calls PM Modi ‘Most Anti-Youth’ Prime Minister

“Prime Minister Modi is the ‘most anti-youth Prime Minister in India’s history.’ He’s so ‘anti-youth’ that he can’t even take the resignation of a failed Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.”
He further alleged:
- 152 paper leaks
- 7.5 crore students victimised
- Not a single guilty person punished
He added:
“Who got the punishment? The hardworking youth.”
Rahul Gandhi also attached a video message to his post criticising the government and the police for their action against protesting students. The video included visuals of students allegedly being beaten by police.

In another post on X, Rahul Gandhi said peaceful protest is an “inviolable and fundamental right.”
He wrote:
“Every police officer and government employee blindly following orders to attack India’s innocent students should keep this in mind: The Constitution is your master. Power does not last forever. Accountability will certainly be enforced.”
‘Tear-Gassing and Lathi-Charging Students Is Not Democratic’
In his video message, Rahul Gandhi said India has a majority of young people and alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the most anti-youth Prime Minister the country has ever had.
He said the boys and girls protesting on the streets of Delhi were not criminals but were demanding:
- An education system that respects them
- A fair education system
- A properly functioning education system
He said:
“There’s absolutely nothing wrong in what they are doing. And it is disgusting what the government is doing and what the police is doing.”
He further stated:
“Tear-gassing students, lathi-charging students is not democratic; it is not India’s way, and it is not the way it should be done. They have legitimate demands. The prime minister should accept these demands and do something about it.”

Rahul Gandhi also said the issue of paper leaks has been raised by his party for years as a fundamental problem.
