NEW DELHI, Mar 2:

Rahul Gandhi today launcheda scathing attack on PrimeMinister Narendra Modi and hisGovernment over the "fair andlovely" scheme on blackmoneyand the raging trouble in JNU andHyderabad University.

In acerbic remarks on Modi'sstyle of functioning, theCongress Vice Presidentaccused him of not listening toanyone's opinion including thatof his ministers and MPs.

"You have been taught by yourteachers in the RSS that there isone truth in the universe--yourown and nobody else's opinionmatters," he told the treasurybenches while speaking on themotion of thanks to the President'saddress in the Lok Sabha.

"The Prime Minister cannot

run the country with his opinionalone. The country is not PMand PM is not the country," hesaid in a 40-minute speech dur-ing which Modi was absent.

Attacking the scheme onblackmoney announced in thebudget on Monday, Gandhi said,"Nobody who has blackmoneywill be jailed under Modi's 'Fairand Lovely' scheme. All thosewho have blackmoney can makeit white under this scheme."

Recalling Modi's promise ofputting people with blackmoneybehind bars, the Congress leadersaid the Government had insteadcome up with a way to help suchpeople.

He was referring to the one-time four-month compliance win-dow announced by FinanceMinister Arun Jaitley under whichpeople with domestic blackmoney

can come clean by paying 45 percent tax and penalty and getimmunity from prosecution.

Gandhi was sharply criticalof the Government over the tur-moil in Delhi's JNU and main-tained that student leaderKanhaiya Kumar, who has beencharged with sedition, had notuttered a single word against thelaw but was behind bars whilethe "real culprits" were roamingfree.

Questioning Modi's silenceover the JNU episode, Gandhisaid that he had not uttered a sin-gle word when teachers and themedia were attacked in thePatiala House court complex inthe capital when Kumar wasbrought there for a hearing."Which religion teaches toassault teachers," he asked.

Gandhi said that 60 per centof students in JNU belonged todalits, minorities and OBCs. 40per cent of them came from apoor background.

"Why are you after the JNU?Because dalits and adivasisstudy there and you don't wantthem to grow. But we will not letthis happen. We cannot crush theJNU," he asserted in the courseof his speech interrupted by theruling NDA members.

Referring to the suicide ofdalit scholar Rohith Vemula inthe Hyderabad CentralUniversity, Gandhi said that theprime minister had not botheredto call his mother.(PTI)
