Rahul Gandhi also alleged that leaders of political parties in Kashmir were jailed at secret locations, which was "unconstitutional and undemocratic", and demanded their immediate release. He said the move was "short-sighted and foolish" as it would allow terrorists to fill up the leadership vacuum created by the central government.

Breaking his silence over the government's move to revoke Article 370, Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the nation is made of people and not plots of land.

Who is this Congress president?

The old guard is firmly behind Priyanka Gandhi's elevation despite a section of young leaders backing Rahul Gandhi's plan.

In a tweet, Gandhi said, "I am devastated to hear about the passing away of Sheila Dikshit Ji, a beloved daughter of the Congress Party, with whom I shared a close personal bond. My condolences to her family & the citizens of Delhi, whom she served selflessly as a three-term chief minister, in this time of great grief."

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday accused the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh of being "dictatorially inclined" and said party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's "imprisonment" at Chunar guesthouse is an attempt to trample upon democracy.
