Modi govt is targeting weak and poor: Gandhi
"Whether it is farmers, Dalits or adivasis (people from tribal community), Modi government is targeting the weak and poor sections of the country," Gandhi told media.
"By beating up people or threatening them, the country will not see any benefit," he said.
Referring to JNU student leader Kanahaiya Kumar's arrest and Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula's suicide issue, Gandhi said: " You pressurised Rohith Vemula in Hyderabad and here you are pressurising Kanhaiya and our students."
"Wherever poor people are raising their voices, the government is trying to crush them," he said.
"Modiji attacked me personally and his party colleagues target me regularly. I want to tell them that you can target me as much as you wish but you should not crush the voices of the poor," he said.
