"Notice that whenever you ask Narendra Modi about unemployment and jobs, he suddenly distracts attention," the member of parliament said, according to the agency. "NRC and CAA are not going to get jobs, the situation in Kashmir and burning Assam are not going to get jobs for our youth. Indians are being made to prove that they are Indians. Who is Narendra Modi to decide if I am Indian? Who has given him the licence to decide who is Indian and who is not? I know I am an Indian, and I do not have to prove it to anybody."
Gandhi led a mass protest march against the amended Citizenship Act at Wayanad. Holding party flags, hundreds of workers took part in the two kilometre-long 'Save the Constitution' march, which began from the SKMJ High School in Wayanad, Gandhi's Lok Sabha constituency.
Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Assembly Ramesh Chennithala, KPCC president Mullappally Ramachandran and AICC secretary K.C. Venugopal were among the senior leaders who participated in the rally.
