PM can't change my behavior by making me sit in ED office, says Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that by making him sit in the central agency’s office for five days he can't expect a behavioural change. 

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who visited the Wayanad constituency for the first time after his questioning by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that by making him sit in the central agency’s office for five days he can't expect a behavioural change.

"There are many people whose behaviour can’t be shaped by violence or threats. The Government of India... Prime Minister, thinks that by making me sit in ED office for five days, I will change my behaviour. In the same way, CPM believes that by breaking my office I will change my behaviour," Rahul Gandhi said.

He added, "My behaviour is shaped by my affection for the people of my country. It is shaped by affection for the toiling masses of this country. It can never be shaped by my opponents or my enemies."

Gandhi was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for five days last month in Delhi in connection with the National Herald money laundering case.

Meanwhile, on June 24, Students' Federation of India (SFI), the youth wing of CPI(M), took out a march and vandalised Rahul Gandhi's office in Wayanad.

While addressing a public meeting at Gandhi Square, Sultan Bathery, Wayanad, the former Congress president said, "This meeting is about the eco-sensitive zone, the buffer zone that has been conceptualised. But before I speak about the buffer zone, the eco-sensitive zone, I want to make one thing clear."

He further went on to state that both the BJP and CPM believe in violence.
