"I want to say if his (Modi's) tears are real, he should remove the VC.... It's ok that an inquiry has been ordered but first remove him and later take action as per the inquiry report," Rahul told newspersons on the sidelines of his padyatra in drought-hit areas of Bundelkhand region.
"What happened in Hyderabad or what is happening in universities and colleges, call it intolerance or whatever, is an attempt to force one ideology on everyone," Rahul said.
Rahul said Modi should stop speaking and start acting as the dalits, poor and others are looking to him whether he will take action or not.
