Parliament monsoon session LIVE: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday stepped up his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah over the Gen Z protests and alleged that the government was trying to silence youngesters by filing FIRs and taking down social media accounts. In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi said, “PM Modi and Amit Shah – you cannot threaten Gen Z into silence.” “First you broke their bones. Now you are filing FIRs and taking down their accounts.”
Leaders of the National Democratic Alliance have praised the anti-paper leak bill that was passed in the Parliament on Thursday after a brief debate amid uproar by Opposition members.
Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge questioned whether the government’s reforms would bring any real change to the examination system, saying replacing a minister alone was not enough. “The minister is gone, but you are still not making any effort to bring reforms,” Kharge said.
