What respect PM has for T.N. people when he does not listen to their plea for abolition of NEET, says Cong. leader
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday said “the BJP should not be under any illusions because we know how to fight them; we are going to fight them and defeat them...Because they [BJP] are fighting history; they are fighting tradition and they [history and tradition] cannot be defeated,”
Releasing Ungalil Oruvan (One among you), the autobiography of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin in Chennai in the presence of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, National Conference leader Omar Abdullah and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Mr. Gandhi charged that when Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to Tamil Nadu he tried to impose some other idea on the people of Tamil Nadu.
“When he does not understand Tamil Nadu is not just two letters [words]; when he does not understand Tamil Nadu is 3,000 years old, Tamil Nadu is the land; Tamil Nadu is the people, he insults the State and our country,” Mr. Gandhi said.
The Congress leader wondered what type of respect the Prime Minister would hold for the people of Tamil Nadu when he was not listening to the people of Tamil Nadu, who repeatedly asked and wanted to talk about (abolition of) the National Eligibility–cum– Entrance Test (NEET).
“What respect do you hold when the voice of Tamil Nadu says that GST is unfair and harms productive States and you do not respond. Who are you disrespecting? How can you take away the voice of people of Tamil Nadu and then you say ‘I respect them’,” Mr. Gandhi asked.
Recalling his speech in Parliament, the Congress leader said “they [BJP] do not understand the history of Tamil Nadu and they do not understand the history of the nation”. He added, “In 3,000 years, nobody has been able to impose anything on Tamil people. And in 3,000 years from today, nobody will be able to impose anything on Tamil people.”
Reiterating that the voice of people was represented in our [democratic] institutions, he alleged it was under systematic attack. “The judiciary, the Election Commission and media are attacked one by one,” he charged.
