दरभंगा के अंबेडकर हॉस्टल में 'शिक्षा न्याय संवाद' कार्यक्रम के तहत छात्रों से संवाद करने जा रहे नेता प्रतिपक्ष श्री राहुल गांधी जी को रोकना अत्यंत शर्मनाक, निंदनीय एवं कायराना कृत्य है।

तानाशाही पर उतारू JDU-BJP गठबंधन की सरकार को यह बताना चाहिए कि क्या बिहार में नेता प्रतिपक्ष…
People of Bihar would not tolerate the ‘dictatorship’ of the NDA government in the state, she added.
"The JDU-BJP coalition government, which is bent on dictatorship, should tell whether it is a crime for the Leader of Opposition to go to Bihar or is it a crime to raise the voice of Dalits, backward, deprived and poor? The people of Bihar, the land of justice and revolution, will not tolerate this dictatorship," she said, according to the ANI.
Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi claimed that the central government opposes democracy, the Constitution, and minorities after being stopped by the Bihar Police while he was traveling to the Ambedkar hostel in Darbhanga.
"The Bihar Police tried to stop me. But they could not stop me because your power (minority community) is watching over me. We told PM Narendra Modi that you have to conduct census... Under your pressure, PM Narendra Modi announced caste census in the country. Scared of your pressure, he placed the Constitution on his forehead. But their government is against democracy, the Constitution, and the minorities. This is the government of Adani-Ambani and not yours," Rahul Gandhi said, addressing the gathering in Darbhanga, as per ANI.
He said, "I guarantee that the moment our government forms in India and in Bihar, and implements everything that you deserve."
Further in a post on X, Rahul Gandhi questioned Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar when the dialogue became a "crime in the state."
He wrote, "NDA's "Double Engine Dhokebaaz Sarkaar" in Bihar is preventing me from interacting with Dalit and backward students in Ambedkar Hostel. Since when has dialogue become a crime? Nitish ji, what are you afraid of? Do you want to hide the state of education and social justice in Bihar? India is a democracy, it is run by the Constitution, not by dictatorship! No one can stop us from raising our voice for social justice and education."
Rahul Gandhi is in Bihar to inaugurate 'Shiksha Nyay Samvad' in Darbhanga today.
The Darbhanga District Administration allegedly attempted to stop Rahul Gandhi, a Congress MP and the leader of the Lok Sabha's (LoP) program at the Ambedkar Hostel in Darbhanga, Bihar, as part of the Bihar Congress's previous protests against the NDA administration.
