Shah attacks Cong chief for techies’ arrest

New Delhi, March 19

BJP president Amit Shah today targeted Congress chief Rahul Gandhi over the alleged “arrest” of some techies in Bengaluru for raising pro-Modi slogans, saying youngsters give direction to the future and he should “stop intimidating youth of India, which has rejected your brand of politics”.

On Monday, a large number of people in Bengaluru raised pro-Modi slogans outside the venue of a function where the Congress chief was addressing entrepreneurs. They were asking Gandhi to leave, but as the noise intensified, police removed the protesters. The BJP alleged several protesters were taken into custody. “Hugs for ‘Tukde Tukde’ gang and arrest of peaceful youth raising pro-Modi slogans?... Yuvraj (prince) of Congress must know that time follows the course taken by youngsters. Stop intimidating youth, who rejected your politics,” Shah said. — PTI
