Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said what is prevailing in the country is not an education system but an “exclusion system” that is designed to keep millions of Indian youth out.
The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha’s remarks came in an Instagram post with a video of his recent interaction with a group of students.
“If you don’t have money, power, or don’t speak English, the system will push you out without a second thought,” he said.
“You can’t call this an education system. It’s an exclusion system – designed to keep millions of Indian youth out,” he said.
Besides holding interactions with students here, Rahul Gandhi is also engaging with students on a large scale through his ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ initiative.
Earlier this month, during his Chhatron Ki Goonj event in Chennai, he had launched a no-holds-barred attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him “Mogambo Modi”.
The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha also told the students of the country that they have “nothing to fear, we are with you, and together, we are going to demolish Modi”.
He had made the remarks at the sixth edition of Chhatron Ki Goonj, which was the first in South India.
Before Chennai, Chhatron ki Goonj was held in Kota, Dehradun, Prayagraj, Pune and Indore.
