Opposition leaders treated like enemies during protests over Rahul Gandhi questioning: Ashok Gehlot
It seems police in the country are anticipating a time ahead when dictatorship comes into full force, Congress leader Ashok Gehlot said on Monday while alleging that opposition leaders were treated like enemies during their protests against Rahul Gandhi's questioning by the ED. The Narendra Modi-led BJP government is setting a wrong trend by targeting political opponents, the Rajasthan chief minister said, adding that there have been political movements in the past but "this face of the police" has shown itself for the first time. "Police targeted our leaders, especially women, and beat them up and detained them for long hours," Gehlot told reporters.
PM Modi will have to withdraw 'Agnipath' scheme: Rahul

They are weakening the Army of the nation & they say they are nationalists. PM Narendra Modi will have to roll back the Agnipath Scheme. The young in India are aware that true patriotism is required to strengthen the nation. We'll make sure the scheme is repealed: Rahul Gandhi
They (BJP) used to talk about 'one rank, one pension, but now there's 'no rank & no pension'. The young will toil hard and will go back to their homes. Once they retire, they won't get any employment.
