Unemployment, Inflation Are The Reasons Behind Parliament Security Breach: Rahul Gandhi

Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi led BJP government over the security breach in the Parliament, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday (16 December) alleged that the reason behind the incident was unemployment and inflation.

"Security breach happened in Parliament. Why did the breach happen? Unemployment is the country’s biggest issue right now. Because of Modiji’s policies, India’s youth are unable to find jobs. The breach has happened for sure, but unemployment and inflation are the reasons behind it," Gandhi said while speaking to reporters.

"Where are the jobs? The youth are desperate – we have to focus on this issue, give jobs to the youth. There has definitely been a security lapse, but the reason behind it is the country's biggest issue - unemployment!," Gandhi later wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Hitting back at Rahul Gandhi, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya wrote on X, "Rahul Gandhi never disappoints; always talks trash. For the record, unemployment in India is at 3.2%, the lowest in six years".

"Instead, Rahul Gandhi and I.N.D.I Alliance leaders must explain the close linkages of those involved in the Parliament breach with Congress, TMC, and CPI(M). Rahul Gandhi, in particular, must clarify his association with Asim Sarode, who was part of Bharat Jodo Yatra and has offered to provide legal aide to the intruders," Malviya added.
