The anger of the youth will not end due to late statement: Pawan Kheda
New Delhi [भारत]July 24 (ANI): Congress MP Pawan Khera on Friday questioned the Prime Minister’s response to the paper leak issue, saying the statements given after several days will not allay the concerns of the protesting youth. Khera said, “Who is taking the Prime Minister’s words seriously? Let him speak. He is replying after 22-25 days and saying strange things.”
He said the youth had taken to the streets due to genuine concerns and alleged that the Prime Minister’s statement would not resolve their frustrations. He further said, “The youth are on the streets for a reason. Such statements are not going to end the frustration of the youth.”
Government is losing sleep: K. Suresh
Earlier, Congress MP Kodikunnil Suresh alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s video message on the paper leak cases was an attempt to “mislead” students and the opposition. He also questioned the government’s stance of “saving” Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The Congress MP alleged that the Prime Minister’s midnight video indicates that the government is fed up and is having sleepless nights. “One thing is clear: the Prime Minister is having sleepless nights because at midnight he released a video for the students. This shows that the Prime Minister, ministers and the government are not sleeping. They are completely fed up,” Suresh told ANI.
No trust in fast-track court
Responding to the government’s decision to set up fast-track courts for paper leak cases, Suresh said the announcement was not acceptable to students and opposition parties. He said, “The video is misleading the students and the opposition because they are saying that fast-track courts will be set up and the accused will be punished as soon as possible. This is what the Prime Minister has said in the video, but the students and the opposition are not believing it.”
Suresh said the removal of Dharmendra Pradhan from the Union Cabinet was one of the primary demands of the protesters and questioned why the Prime Minister was “protecting” the Education Minister. (ANI)
