1. Rahul Gandhi on JNU protest: It seems only the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh have the licence to say who is a traitor and who is a patriot. What is the meaning of Independence if the RSS can take away the voice of the youth…they have only one agenda – they want power. (PTI)

2. Rahul Gandhi on JNU protest: "I went to Hyderabad a few days back. A Dalit student, Rohith Vemula, committed suicide there. He did nothing wrong. He only said whatever he had in his heart and whatever he had to say. The ministers of the government of India ordered the university that he is a traitor and so he must be banned from the university, forcing him to commit suicide. (PTI)

3. Rahul Gandhi on JNU protest: In Indian Institutes of Technology, a youth stands up and tells about the Dalits; the government of India says he is a traitor. The president of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union spoke about the poor people, weak people, progress, Adivasis and development etc. What does the government of India say? It terms him a traitor. (PTI)

4. Rahul Gandhi on JNU protest: It seems only the RSS has opened a shop of patriotism; only they can say who is a patriot or a traitor. They (RSS and BJP) are the people who fired three bullets at Mahatma Gandhiji. These are the people who bowed their heads before the British. Now they ask us to take lessons of 'deshbhakti' (patriotism)?. (PTI)

5. Rahul Gandhi on JNU protest: "But this is not fair. I want to tell them that more they pressurise the youth, more the youth will stand up against them and challenge them," he said.(PTI)
