Mumbai: BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut has targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his silence on the ongoing students’ protest in Jharkhand.
Backing the demonstrators, Kangana questioned Gandhi’s absence from the agitation and accused him of speaking out only when it suited his political narrative.
Speaking to ANI, Kangana accused the Congress of hypocrisy and said, “Our Gen Z, our children, are truly enduring various forms of hardship, a situation that has persisted for decades. The Congress party created such a spectacle here in Delhi. They even attempted to launch an attack in Parliament. Yet, now that the situation for children in Jharkhand is so dire, Rahul Gandhi is not visiting them.”
She further said, “Lekin jab logon ko uksana hota hai, bachchon ko jo hai desh ki security pe khatra karna hota hai tab wo hai (But when it comes to inciting people or endangering the country’s security, Rahul Gandhi is the first to step forward).”
Students have been staging an indefinite protest at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium since July 29, alleging that the JMM-led government is attempting to “whitewash” the controversy by assigning the investigation to the CID.
The protesters have instead demanded a CBI probe, along with an Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation, alleging that the purported recruitment scam involved large-scale financial irregularities.
Kangana also welcomed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s apology over the temporary removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s video, expressing hope that similar incidents would not recur. ”
We are very pleased that the errors have been acknowledged, and we hope for relief in the future regarding the growing threat posed to our national security by these terrorist forces,” she was quoted as saying by ANI.
