Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has launched an Instagram “Ask Me Anything” session, inviting students and Gen Z users to submit questions. He said he would answer as many as possible. During the outreach, Gandhi described India’s education system as unaffordable and oppressive, and said every government, including those led by Congress, should listen to students and act. The Times of India and Times Now report that he addressed protests in Jharkhand over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations. Times Now says the agitation had entered its 13th day, with six demonstrators on hunger strike and an 11-member delegation seeking talks with the state government. Gandhi’s outreach follows his interaction with students involved in recent protests.
