Speaking during the protest rally, Delhi IYC President Akshay Lakra said that the JDU-BJP government in Bihar has destroyed the education system of the state. “Students are being served only lies and rhetoric in the name of facilities, which is why LoP Rahul Gandhi ji went to Bihar yesterday to talk about the hollow education system of Bihar in ‘Shiksha Nyay Samvad’, the Bihar government made every effort to stop his program, stopping the program in this way is the height of dictatorship.”

Notably, the Darbhanga district administration on Thursday lodged the FIR against Congress MP for holding an event at the Ambedkar Hostel without official permission.

The case was registered shortly after Rahul Gandhi left Darbhanga for Patna. Along with Rahul, 18 others were named in the FIR filed at Laheriasarai police station under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
