Rahul Gandhi clarified on Cambridge speech: only questioned Indian democracy, for this I cannot be called anti-national

Rahul Gandhi went to London on March 1, where he raised questions on India’s democracy during his speech at Cambridge University.

In the meeting of the committee of the Ministry of External Affairs, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi clarified the statement made in Britain. He said that my statement was not about any country or government. Rahul said – My statement was about a person. I talked about India’s democracy. No other country has been asked to interfere on this issue.

Rahul also said that he raised questions only on Indian democracy, for this he cannot be called anti-national.

Rahul Gandhi reached the Lok Sabha on Friday, but after the proceedings were adjourned, 16 opposition parties, including the Congress, staged a sit-in outside Parliament.

According to reports, the Ministry of External Affairs had called a meeting of the Parliamentary Consultative Committee on Saturday. In this there was a discussion about the Presidency of India in the G-20. Initially, Foreign Minister S Jaishankar also gave a presentation on this.
