Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticizes Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying students affected by an alleged leaked question paper do not need the prime minister’s “forgiveness” but instead deserve an apology. Gandhi argues that the Centre has not adequately acknowledged the suffering of students and their families, including those who, he says, are grieving. He claims Modi has not met any grieving parent or any affected student whose future has been harmed by the leak. The remarks focus on the alleged failure of the government to address student concerns and to provide timely recognition of the impact of the controversy. Gandhi’s statements underscore his position that accountability should be directed toward the prime minister and the administration rather than shifting responsibility to affected individuals. The criticism centers on perceived gaps in engagement with those directly affected, and on the absence of an official acknowledgment, according to Gandhi.
