On his social media handle X, Gandhi said, “The attitude of the UP government and Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission towards the competitive students in Prayagraj is extremely insensitive and unfortunate”.
“Non-transparent system in the name of normalisation is unacceptable and the students’ demand for examination in one shift is absolutely justified,” the former Congress president said.
“Why should students pay the price for the incompetence of the BJP government which is busy destroying the education system?” he asked.
“Students who were studying have been forced to fight on the streets and are now being harassed by the police. We will not accept this injustice against the youth who are staying away from home and studying to fulfill their and their families’ dreams,” Rahul said.
