Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a speech in Washington DC on September 10. He described an ideological battle in India between the Congress party and its allies versus the BJP and RSS. Gandhi emphasized that Congress envisions a pluralistic India where everyone has the right to thrive, and diverse perspectives are welcomed without persecution based on religion, community, or language. In contrast, he criticized the BJP and RSS for promoting a more centralized and restrictive vision.
