He alleged that a “manufactured sense of anger” was being created to mislead students and the public. Reiterating the Centre’s willingness to discuss all issues in Parliament, Singh said the Opposition should raise its concerns inside the House instead of taking them to the streets.
He expressed confidence that India’s youth would reject attempts to mislead them and choose the path of progress, development and nation-building.
