‘I Oppose PM Modi For Breaking Relationships Between Indians’: Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi said job is to rebuild the bridge broke by PM Modi with the use of love

Mumbai: While addressing people in Malappuram, Kerala on Wednesday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi conveyed his reasons for opposing PM Modi saying that he’s breaking the eternal relationship between different communities in India.

“They say India is a territory, we say India is people, relationships. It’s the relationship between Hindu & Muslim, between Hindu, Muslim & Sikh, between Tamil, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali. My problem with PM is that he’s breaking these relationships,” said Rahul Gandhi.

He added, “If he is breaking the relationships between Indians, he is attacking the idea of India. That is why I oppose him. And in the same way, he breaks the relationships between Indians, it is my job, my duty & my commitment to building the bridge between the people of India.”

Rahul Gandhi further said that every time Modi breaks the bridge between 2 Indians, he will rebuild it with love and understand the differences between those communities.

“Every time he uses hatred to break a bridge between 2 Indians, my job is to use love to rebuild that bridge, & not just my job but our job. I can’t build a bridge without understanding different traditions, ideas, different religions, different cultures in this country,” the Congress leader said.

He expressed these concerns raising a question on what people think is the definition of India.

“The political question being asked today is – what is India? If you read people like Savarkar, they’ll say India is geography. They take a pen, draw a map & say this is India; outside this line it is not India & inside this line it is India,” said Rahul Gandhi in Malappuram.

He added, “Then a question arises, what if there was this map but no people living on this territory. Would you still be here? Of course, not because if there would be no people in this territory you would not say that it is India.”

Explaining ‘what India is?’, He gave an example that If an Indian board to America, his identity still remains Indian.

“What happens if an Indian person gets on a plane & goes to America, does he not remain Indian? Of course, he doesn’t, he remains an Indian. So, for me, India is the people who live here,” he said.
