'You cannot threaten Gen Z into silence': Rahul attacks Modi, Amit Shah

NEW DELHI, July 31: Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Friday stepped up his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging that the government was trying to silence Gen Z by filing FIRs and taking down social media accounts.

In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi called Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah India's past. He warned them to be careful about how they treated India's future. He alleged that they could not silence Gen Z through police action and legal cases.

"PM Modi and Amit Shah - you cannot threaten Gen Z into silence. First you broke their bones. Now you are filing FIRs and taking down their accounts. You are India’s past. Be careful about how you treat India’s future," he said.

On Thursday, the Congress MP demanded an independent Supreme Court-monitored high-powered committee to investigate the alleged police action against student protesters.

He sought an impartial inquiry into the alleged use of force during the July 20 protest at Delhi's JantarMantar.

"Students deserve justice. An independent SC monitored high powered committee must be constituted to probe brutalities against our students," Gandhi said on X.�" Z NEWS
