NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday attributed rising prices and unemployment behind the December 13 Parliament security breach.
Speaking to reporters after a poll preparedness meeting with leaders of the Congress’ Gujarat unit in New Delhi, Gandhi said the security breach happened in Parliament but youngsters are not getting jobs due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies.
“There has been a security breach in Parliament. But why did it happen?” he asked.
“The biggest issue in the country is that of unemployment, which is boiling all over the country. The country’s youth are not getting employment due to the policies of Modi ji,” he said.
In a major security breach on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack on Wednesday, two men jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour, released yellow smoke from canisters and shouted slogans, before being overpowered by the MPs.
“The breach has happened (in Parliament) but the reason behind it is unemployment and price rise,” Gandhi also said.
