Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi government over repeated paper leaks and examination irregularities, alleging that India’s education system “suppresses” and “butchers” students.

Addressing the ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ rally in Kota, Gandhi questioned the Centre’s failure to curb examination-related irregularities and criticised the country’s education system for placing excessive and unjust pressure on students.

“The Indian education system is a rejection system. It is not a selection system,” he said, linking the remark to controversies such as the NEET-UG paper leak and concerns surrounding the CBSE evaluation process.

Gandhi further argued that the existing system subjects students to stress and unnecessary pressure, which, he said, is detrimental to both young people and the country’s future.

Ahead of his address, the Leader of Opposition told the gathering that the event was not political in nature. “This is about discussing India’s education system, what is wrong with it, and what needs to be corrected,” he said.
