Jairam Ramesh
Congress general secretary who accused the Madhya Pradesh government of trying to stop the event.
“Rahul Gandhi Ji is continuously amplifying the voices of students being crushed in the country's failing education system through 'Chhatron Ki Goonj'. The crumbling education system is snatching away the future of the nation's future — our students — from them.”
