PRAYAGRAJ: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday alleged that the administration has been trying “every possible way” to stop his proposed ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ programme in Prayagraj, asserting that he would continue to raise the voice of students despite the hurdles.
In a post shared on X, Gandhi said the students of Allahabad University were protesting against fee hikes and seat cuts, but instead of addressing their concerns, the administration was filing FIRs against them.
“Students of Allahabad University are fighting for their future against fee hikes and seat cuts. But instead of listening to the students, the administration is filing FIRs against them,” he wrote.
He alleged that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government was trying to suppress the voice of the youth.
“The policy of the Modi government is to suppress the voice of the youth. Ask a question and you get a lathi charge; protest and you face cases, and raise your voice and you get pellet guns,” the Congress leader said.
“Ever since I decided to come to Prayagraj to hear the students’ side, the administration has been trying every possible way to stop my program. It’s clear that they are even afraid of the students’ echo,” he added.
Affirming his support for the students, Gandhi added, “I stand with the students. No matter how hard the government tries, it cannot stop me from raising their voice.”
