Manglaur (Uttarakhand) [India], February 11 (ANI): Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that Prime Minister's Narendra Modi's remark 'Rahul doesn't listen' meant that the former does not succumb to the pressure of central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Addressing a public rally in Uttarakhand's Manglaur, the Wayanad MP said, "In an interview yesterday, Modi Ji said, 'Rahul doesn't listen'. Did you understand what he meant? It meant that ED, CBI pressure doesn't work on Rahul, and he does not back down. Why should I listen to him?"
