Rahul Gandhi urges students to join 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' campaign

Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Thursday urged students and job aspirants to join the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' campaign by signing an online petition addressing critical issues such as paper leaks, examination irregularities, rising education costs, and unemployment. Earlier in the day, Gandhi shared the petition link on social media, inviting students to contribute their suggestions.

The petition is part of the broader 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' campaign, which aims to bring student concerns directly to the attention of the government. Gandhi emphasized the campaign's importance, stating, "If you've suffered because of paper leaks, exam issues, or high fees, if this education system has shattered your dreams, if your family has invested a lifetime of savings in your education, then 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' is your voice." He encouraged students to participate by following three simple steps: clicking the link, filling in their name, and sharing their ideas by signing the petition. Gandhi highlighted that every signature strengthens the movement, adding, "The more the signatures, the louder the ‘goonj’."

Later in the day, Gandhi shared a video from the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' rally held in Kota, Rajasthan, calling it the beginning of a larger movement. "Kota, you were incredible. Believe me, yesterday we together began the start of history," he wrote.
