After his salvos at the government over the land bill and farmers issues, Gandhi made his second speech in three days in the Lok Sabha demanding a new law to ensure equal access to all especially the youths, to the internet.
Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad took the floor immediately after Rahul's attack to counter his criticism. He said the BJP government stood for Digital India and internet was available to people in a non-discriminatory manner.
"This government wants to carve out the internet and hand it over to some corporates....The government wants to distribute internet among industrialists. Every youth should have access to internet," he said to the thumping of desks by his party members.
Gandhi's attack comes on top of his Monday speech in which he repeatedly took jibes at the government calling it "suit-boot ki sarkar" which was pro-industrialists and anti-farmers.
Outside the House, he said the net neutrality debate is a trial balloon floated by the government to handover internet space to corporates which he vowed to oppose tooth and nail.
