Rahul exhorts students in Delhi to stand up, Modi-Shah, Mohan Bhagwat, Doval to be brought to justice with CEC on Vote Chori

Chennai, oCt 10 (UNI) Exhorting the protesting students in Delhi not to give up but stand up, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday asserted that along with Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, the Modi-Shah duo, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval will be brought to justice for destroying democracy.
“You have nothing to fear. We are with you. We are going to make sure, Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat and Doval, who have destroyed election through Gyanesh Kumar, will be brought to justice,” he told the protesting students of Delhi, adding, “I guarantee you, tell all the students in Delhi, stand up, never stop. Together, we are going to demolish Modi.”
Interacting with the rapturous crowd of student in Chennai as part of its nation-wide student outreach programme at the sprawling Island Grounds, the Congress leader charged Modi with destroying democracy, saying “Vote Chori, Election Chori…. As you saw in Delhi, the entire city is shut down, internet shut down, police beating students. The problem is Modi does not understand that the game is over.”
“Nobody is going to crush the spirit of students. Modi is compromised by financial forces and international forces, and they control him. He is fighting for survival,” he said, and cited the example of former union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who had to step down following the student protest spearheaded by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP).
Blaming the union Government of imposing Hindi on Tamil Nadu and denying release of school education funds under SSA to the tune of Rs 3,200 crore, Rahul accused Amit Shah of publicly saying that Tamil language, its culture, tradition is secondary to his language – Hindi. “Language imposition is the first to destroy the foundation of curiosity. “Democracy itself emerges from curiosity and questioning. Democracy is your right to question and get answers from the rulers in government. Modi is destroying the foundation of curiosity, which comes from your language, history, culture and tradition,” he explained to the audience.
“Questioning,” he said “is the foundation of human progress and its heart.” Then turning to RSS-ification fo the education system, Rahul alleged that many Universities in Tamil Nadu are remaining headless since the Governor from the RSS is insisting upon having RSS men as Vice Chancellors.
Those who interacted with Rahul on the dais included the brother of Anitha, a victim of NEET exam, whose suicide galvanized the state to oppose NEET and a Muslim girl from ‘Vyasai Thozhargal’ of Vyasarpadi north Chennai, whose request to Rahul to visit, stay and eat with them for a day was accepted by the Congress leader. “We will have a special programme for you place. I will come and let know what's happening there” he assured.
