Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the government, saying that each institution is being captured by the RSS.
‘RSS has to capture all the institutions’
“As I said, everything has emerged from the vote. All the institutions have emerged from the vote. So it’s obvious that the RSS has to capture all the institutions that have emerged from it. After Gandhiji’s assassination, the next step of the project was the wholesale capture of India’s institutional framework,” Rahul Gandhi said while speaking in the Lok Sabha over debate of election reforms and SIR.

‘Govt destroys the idea of India’
Rahul Gandhi further said, “When you destroy the vote, you destroy the fabric of this country. You destroy modern India , you destroy the idea of India.”
The Congress MP said, “I want to assure the Election Commission that they might be under the impression that this law lets them get away with it. Let me remind them, don’t worry, we are going to change the law, and we are going to come, and find you.”
‘Khadi is the expression of the people of India’
Rahul Gandhi began his speech by stating that Mahatma Gandhi laid a lot of emphasis on Khadi.
“Why was it that he framed the entire Indian freedom struggle around the concept of khadi, and why is it that he only wore Khadi? Because Khadi is not just a cloth. Khadi is the expression of the people of India; it is the imagination, it is the sentiment, it is the productive force of the people of India… Whichever state you go to, you will find different fabrics. Himachali cap, Assamese Gomcha, Banarsi Saree, Kanchipuram Saree, Naga jacket. And you will find that all these fabrics represent the people… These fabrics are beautiful,” he said.
