Jul 22, 2026 11:14 AM IST 'What happened to us is irrelevant': Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Oppn leaders' detention Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, addressing the reporters outside the Parliament, expressed that what happened to the party and other Opposition leaders while they protested out Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence on Tuesday as "irrelevant." Speaking to PTI, Vadra said, “Do you think our democracy is being protected?
What happened to us is irrelevant.
We are standing with the students and raising their voice.
What happened to the students, was it right or wrong?
They are all young students.
They are protesting, and this is not just any protest.
It is a genuine issue, a genuine problem.
Every parent in this country knows it.
Every student in this country knows it.
Every teacher in this country knows it.
Everyone knows this is a genuine issue.
The students are only asking for their rights…" She further said, "These students study with immense dedication and struggle to build a future for themselves.
You are destroying that future.
The entire education budget for the youth of this country is Rs 1.4 lakh crore.
But you are writing off loans worth Rs 16 lakh crore for Adani ji and Ambani ji.
The farmers get nothing, the poor get nothing, and the students get nothing.” (PTI)
