New Delhi21 July. Union Minister Jitendra Singh has issued a statement regarding the Congress leaders protesting outside the Prime Minister’s House (PMO) on Tuesday afternoon.

Singh said, ‘Rahul Gandhi was requested to end the protest because this place is not for protest and the protest here is causing a lot of trouble to the general public. When the Home Secretary tried to explain that this place was not suitable for holding a protest, his reply was that it was their prerogative to sit wherever they wanted. It is unfortunate and against every rule of democracy for a senior leader and leader of the opposition like Rahul Gandhi to go back on his words.

The Union Minister said, ‘The government is ready to discuss in Parliament all the issues related to NEET and its related movement. On the contrary, the Congress Party has not given any notice till date for formal discussion on this serious matter as per the rules. Rahul Gandhi’s behavior is not in accordance with the principles of democracy.
