Prime Minister Narendra Modi is creating a vision of India that is not inclusive and excludes huge chunks of the country바카라s population, which is unfair and goes against the idea of India, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Monday during an interactive session with students at the prestigious University of Cambridge.
During the event entitled 바카라India at 75바카라 at Corpus Christi College, Gandhi covered a broad range of subjects from Hindu nationalism, the Gandhi family바카라s role within the Congress Party and efforts to mobilise the people of the country as he fielded questions from a largely Indian student base.
"I have a problem if anybody has a vision for India that excludes people, I don바카라t care who바카라s being excluded. I have a problem with it because it is completely unfair, it ignores that there is tremendous energy in the people being excluded and I have a problem with it because that바카라s not what India is,바카라 said Gandhi, in response to a question about secularism in India.
"I think it goes beyond secularism. You have to include every single person with compassion. Mr Modi is constructing a vision of India where he바카라s leaving out huge chunks of our population. And, that바카라s not a vision of India, that바카라s a vision of a part of India,바카라 he said.
Asked about how the Congress plans to fight against the forces of 바카라Hindu nationalism바카라, Gandhi declared that he did not agree with the term itself.
바카라There is nothing Hindu about it and actually there바카라s nothing nationalist about it. I think you바카라ll have to think of a new name for them but they바카라re certainly not Hindu. And, I have studied Hinduism in enough detail to tell you that there바카라s absolutely nothing Hindu about wanting to murder people and beat people up,바카라 he said.
바카라My problem with the RSS and the Prime Minister is that they are fiddling with the foundational structure of India. When you play the politics of polarisation, when you isolate and demonise 200 million people, you바카라re doing something extremely dangerous and you바카라re doing something that is fundamentally against the idea of India,바카라 he said.
바카라I바카라m sure there are good things the Prime Minister has done, but for me attacking the idea of India is unacceptable,바카라 he added.
The BJP on Saturday had accused Gandhi of harming India in his "hate" against Prime Minister Modi and alleged his frequent critical remarks about the country from foreign soils amounted to "betraying" it.
BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia launched a sharp attack on Gandhi for his remarks at a conference in London organised by non-profit think-tank Bridge India on Friday.
Gandhi also said his party is working on plans to go to the ground with padyatras, meet people and walk with people as a way to actively mobilise them from October-November after the Congress presidential elections in August.
바카라That바카라s for the Congress party to decide. There바카라s a presidential election, the party has to decide,바카라 he said, when asked if the party needs a leadership outside of the Gandhi family.
The event, organised by the School of the Humanities and Social Science at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University, as part of a series of events celebrating the 75th year of Indian independence, marks the conclusion of Gandhi바카라s UK tour which began last week.
