New Delhi, July 24:
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday over students’ protest, saying he takes credit for “going to Mars”, so now it is time for him to take responsibility for his actions.
Speaking with reporters in Parliament House complex, she said the prime minister has posted on social media that he cares for children when just last night he got them “teargassed and beaten up”.
“Have you ever seen in the history of our democracy that MPs from the ruling side are standing outside and protesting. Since how many sessions is this going on and they are not able to run this ( Parliament session). What is happening outside. He is weak and coward,” she said, attacking the prime minister.
“He (PM Modi) takes credit for going to Mars, he takes credit for every achievement which is the achievement of our youth and the achievement of our people. He takes credit, doesn’t he? So now is the time for him to take responsibility for his actions,” Priyanka Gandhi asserted.
“It is him who is getting people beaten up. Under his nose, 152 papers have leaked and there have been zero convictions, who is responsible? If Modi ji is responsible for us going to Mars, if Modi ji is responsible for every achievement that an Indian makes, whether it is in the Olympics or in the Asian games, then Modi ji is responsible for what is happening today,” she said. “Modi ji is responsible for our youth feeling that there is no future, Modi ji is responsible if our children who are demonstrating, he has cut off the internet and he is teargassing them and having them lathi-charged. If something happens to even one of them it is his responsibility,” she asserted.
