RSS wants to destroy India’s education system, Rahul tells student leaders

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) wants to destroy the future and the education system of the country, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said on Monday (March 24, 2025) while addressing a protest rally of INDIA bloc’s students organisations against the education policies of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre. “If the education system goes into their hands, which is actually happening slowly, this country will be destroyed. No one will get jobs and the country will be finished,” Mr. Gandhi said.

He asked the students’ organisations to tell students that the vice-chancellors of Indian universities are dominated by the RSS. “In the coming time, state universities’ VCs will be appointed on the recommendation of the RSS. We have to stop this,” he said.

He said that Mr. Modi does not speak a word about unemployment, inflation and education system. Their model is to hand over all resources to Adani and Ambani and hand over institutions to the RSS. “You are students of the INDIA bloc, there may be some differences in our ideologies and policies but we can never compromise on the education system of the country. We will fight this fight together and push back the RSS,” he said. Mr. Gandhi added that the UGC’s draft is part of the the agenda of the RSS to impose “one history, one tradition, one language” on the country.
