NEW DELHI: Congress leader Pawan Khera on Thursday asserted that Rahul Gandhi’s proposed ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ programme in Prayagraj on August 8 would go ahead as scheduled, accusing the BJP of trying to obstruct the event because it was “afraid” of the Leader of the Opposition.
Speaking to reporters, Khera said, “They are afraid of Rahul Gandhi. You can see it for yourself; they are afraid of him inside Parliament, and they are afraid of him outside as well. Let them be afraid; we will continue to keep them on edge…. They are afraid of Rahul Gandhi. They don’t even face Rahul Gandhi in Parliament, and whenever Rahul Gandhi goes to amplify the voice of the students, they try to create problems every single time. Let them keep doing it; this is the power of the students. This is the power of Rahul Gandhi. This is the power of the Opposition. Their fear will not succeed against this. We will continue our work, and this program will definitely take place. We will go there [Prayagraj] as well.”
