Rahul said- People of BJP and RSS are a threat to India’s diversity
Rahul addressed the program ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukan’ in San Francisco. On this occasion, many people from the Indian community asked him questions.
Rahul Gandhi talked to Indians on 7 topics…
1. Bharat Jodo Yatra
Rahul Gandhi said, “I started a foot march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. During the journey we were learning what are the things used in politics. Such talks and public meetings were not working. All the things which We were needed in politics, they were controlled by BJP and Sangh. People were being intimidated, agency was being used. We were finding it difficult to do politics. So we decided to march till Srinagar. “
2. Chronic knee injury
He said, “When we started, I thought let’s see what happens. After 5-6 days it felt that traveling 4000 km is not easy. The old knee injury also surfaced. I started having a lot of pain while walking. Suddenly something happened. It was very shocking. I realized that after traveling 25 kms, I didn’t feel tired. We used to wake up at 6 in the morning and walk till 7-8 in the evening and I didn’t feel tired.”
3. Shop of Love in the Market of Hate
Rahul said, “During Bharat Jodo, I realized what was going on in the country. I was not walking, India was walking with me. People from all religions and communities were coming, children were coming. Aisa Pyar Ka An atmosphere was being created that no one was getting tired. Everyone was helping each other. After that we got the idea to open a ‘love shop in the market of hate’.
4. Congress Party
He said, “The interesting thing about the Congress is that we love everyone. We listen to anyone who comes to say something to us. We don’t get aggressive, we don’t get angry. We love them and that’s our There is character. A different kind of energy started coming during the yatra. Whatever power the government had, they used to stop the yatra. Police was used, nothing worked. The impact of the yatra was increasing. This happened because you helped us.
5. Those who have illusion of knowing everything, they are running the country
Rahul Gandhi said, “The world is so big that no one can say that he knows everything. It is a disease that there is a group of people who believe that they know everything. They think that they Knows more than god. He can sit with god and tell him what is going on. And sir our prime minister is one such example. I think if modiji is made to sit next to god he can tell god Will start how the world runs, even God will be surprised that what I have done.
Some people in India know everything. He can teach science to scientists. History can be taught to historians. You can teach the army how to fight and the air force how to fly. And the fact is that they do not understand anything. You can’t learn anything in life until you make a habit of listening.”
6. Bharatiya Janata Party
He said, “India never ignores any idea. Whoever comes to India, he is welcomed with open heart and we imbibe his ideas. This is the India you represent. If you get angry If you believe in hatred and arrogance, then you should sit in the BJP meeting. And I would have been talking about my mind.”
7. Indian Society in America
Rahul Gandhi said, “Thank you for respecting their culture and tradition and learning from them. You all are our ambassadors. When America says that Indians are intelligent, worthy of respect, it is because of your behavior. I am here for 16 hours.” I have reached after a flight of 6:30 am and I felt a little tired. But after seeing your energy, I am not tired anymore.”
Rahul reached America on Tuesday morning. He was received here by Sam Pitroda, President of the Indian Overseas Congress.
Members of the Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) welcomed Rahul Gandhi on his arrival at the airport.
Rahul answered questions after the speech in San Francisco.
Question: Chansi Reddy, member of Women’s Empowerment Organization, asked – Women have played an important role in making this program successful. The Reservation Bill for women has been a topic of discussion for years. If Congress comes to power, what action will it take on this?
A male name: We will definitely pass the bill as soon as the government is formed. Some parties were not with us in the previous government, but this will not happen now.
Question: Fugal Anbhu asked – There is a relation of brotherhood among the Tamil people. We consider every human being equal. People of different religions, castes and cultures live in India. Rahul ji, you have studied in America. Here every state has its own constitution. My question is what do you think about making India United States of India?
A male name: Our constitution states that people of every religion, caste and culture are equal. They have to be protected. The people of BJP and RSS are a threat to India’s diversity. For me Tamil language is not just a language but the whole culture of Tamil people. I will never allow Tamil language to be threatened, because it will harm the civilization of India. Threat to any language is threat to the unity of India. Our strength lies in diversity and in the fact that we work together even when we are apart.
Question: Ganpati asked- Fascism is a big issue in India, in such a situation how will you cover people of every class in terms of economy and development?
A male name: People of different castes and religions live in our country. Without knowing them, it is not possible to make the right policy about them. Congress is constantly pressurizing BJP for caste census. We can save all the people only through different government schemes. The real issues in India are inflation, unemployment, right to education. BJP is trying to mislead people from this.
Question: Mohammad Khan of the Muslim community asked – You have opened a shop of love in the market of hatred. There is a threat to the security of Muslims in India. Many laws are being made against them. Muslim children are being jailed for charges they didn’t even commit. What would you say on this?
A male name: Discrimination is happening in India today between the Muslim community and all minorities. Some people have all the money of the country and the minority is sinking deeper into poverty. But you can’t kill hate with hate. Indian people do not believe in hatred. Some people have captured the system and the media. They are spreading this mentality. I have traveled from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Common citizens of India do not have such a mindset. Together we will face this discrimination and conquer it with love.
Question: UC Berkeley University student asked- Indian students studying abroad want to go back and represent India. But seeing the condition of the wrestlers there today, we are not able to go back. So what will you do for us?
answer: India is not what the media shows today. They only highlight the hatred in the country, but from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, there is a lot of love among the people. In such a situation, you must go back and make the country famous. All of you represent India abroad. You have to take those feelings forward so that we can defeat the BJP.
