Rahul Gandhi in London: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday addressed the Indian diaspora in London and slammed the Centre saying that the Modi government does not allow any idea of opposition to be discussed. He touched upon a range of issues like India's economy, significance of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, how opposition is fighting the Centre, among others. Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi during an interaction with the Indian Journalists' Association in the UK spoke on various issues including India-China relations, BBC raids, Adani Group and others. On India-China tension, Rahul Gandhi made a statement saying that India's External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar doesn't understand the 'China threat' while PM Modi is in denial mode that nobody has entered our territory.
- Strange that an Indian political leader can give a talk in Cambridge, Harvard but not in an Indian university. The government does not allow any idea of opposition to be discussed. It's not India all of us are used to.
- One or two business people control pretty much every business. He has become famous lately, you can see reports on his wealth.
- It's at the expense of the Indian people. One person is making all the money because of his political connections, Rahul Gandhi said during his address to the Indian diaspora.
- On the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul said throughout the yatra, my role was to make every single person, who marched alongside us, feel at home. We did not want a political relationship with them, we built an emotional bond with everyone.
- When there is no competition in the country and one person is making all the money because of his political connections, the strength and energy of the country gets wasted.
Speaking on recent BBC raids in India during interaction with the Indian Journalists' Association, Rahul Gandhi termed it suppression of voice saying that in PM Modi's new India, he wants everyone to be silent.
