New Delhi: Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has urged students and youth to join a protest in Kota on June 17 against alleged exam paper leaks and recruitment irregularities, calling for stronger public resistance on the issue.

In a post on social media platform X , Rahul Gandhi appealed to young people to raise their voice more strongly against repeated examination irregularities and paper leak allegations, stating that their concerns must be heard at the national level.

देश के हर युवा से मेरी एक बात – आज इस देश में मेहनत का फल नहीं, सपने देखने की सज़ा मिलती है।
