"You are being told not to have your imagination...": Rahul Gandhi attacks BJP government

Guwahati (Assam), January 23 : Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday addressed a gathering of students on the Assam-Meghalaya border and said, "they were being told not to have their imagination but to blindly obey the RSS and the country's leadership".
Gandhi, who addressed students outside the USTM University campus from atop his bus during his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, said that he was supposed to address the students at the university.
"The CM office in Assam called university authorities that he (Gandhi) must not be allowed to address university students. It was not important whether Rahul Gandhi came or didn't come, but what is important is that you are allowed to listen to anybody that you want to listen to," the Congress leader told the students.
"This was not taking place only in Assam. This is taking place in every single university, college and school in India. You are being told that you must blindly obey the RSS and the leadership of this country. You are being told that you should not have your imagination," he added.
Congress leaders said Rahul Gandhi was supposed to hold an interaction with several hundred students at USTM University at the Assam-Meghalaya border.
Gandhi alleged that the "invitation" to visit the university was revoked "on intervention of Union Home Minister".
Congress leaders said a spontaneous interaction with a hundred students at a hotel nearby was held in which Rahul Gandhi discussed a variety of issues including "the suppression of voices and individual freedoms by the current government".
