Congress\u2019s state unit and student wing NSUI have already met CM Hemant Soren espousing the cause of students.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Rahul replied on Instagram, where he, in a novel youth outreach, opened himself to questions Thursday. Rahul launched a page saying, \u201cStudents, Gen-Z &#8211; I\u2019m here to listen. <!-- -->Ask me anything on Instagram, and I\u2019ll answer as many questions as I can.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The initiative came a day after Rahul held an interaction with youngsters who were part of the recent NEET agitation in Delhi and other parts of the country, with whom he then held a news conference. The youngsters included Rhiya Ahir whose photo went viral for blocking a Mumbai police van, and Muskaan Sharma, who was the victim of a cop \u201cjabbing a baton in her buttocks\u201d at Jantar Mantar on July 20.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>As Rahul stood next to the protesters at the news conference, Farah Naaz alleged that in police detention, she faced communal barbs, with a cop even calling her \u201canti-national\u201d.
