Rahul Gandhi delivered a sharp speech in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, lauding the recent youth protests and declaring that every Indian should feel proud of the country’s young people.
The opposition leader took aim at the education sector, accusing rampant privatization and an alleged RSS capture of the system of undermining quality and equity. He warned that such influence could erode democratic values.
During the address, Gandhi also shared a student’s definition of a true learner, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and critical thinking over rote memorization.
