NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi once again met the media along with those who protested in various parts of the country against the NEET question paper leak. The students explained the atrocities and legal actions they faced from the police and the central government.
The students alleged that the police and the administration tried to segregate them in the name of religion and label them anti-national without even considering that they were just students. The students said that the police unleashed violence on them while protesting peacefully and did not even allow the injured to be put in an ambulance.
Rahul Gandhi said that the central government is still hunting students after the protest and blamed Home Minister Amit Shah for it. Rahul mocked the home minister for not even having the guts to come to Parliament.
Model Riya Ahir, who went viral for stopping a police vehicle in Mumbai during the protest, also attended a press conference at Delhi's Janpath. Riya talked about the ordeal she went through, including the personal and cyber-attacks after the viral picture.
“The central government is hunting those who participated in the protest. They are trying to make the students apologise by threatening them. This is hooliganism. No one needs to apologise for fighting against injustice” - Rahul Gandhi
