Rahul Gandhi News: Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi is on his third day in the US, and during this time his comments are attracting a lot of attention on Indian politics and international issues. Interacting with the media at the National Press Club in Washington DC, Rahul Gandhi raised serious questions on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's strategy to deal with China and also put forth his views on social issues like caste census.Rahul Gandhi particularly argued on Prime Minister Modi's policies on the India-China border dispute. He alleged that the Modi government has failed to properly handle the situation on the border with China. Gandhi categorically said that if a neighboring country has occupied 4,000 square kilometers of your territory, can the US President claim to handle it well? According to him, the presence of Chinese troops in Ladakh is a serious problem and should be seen as a disaster.He also said that unlike last year, when he accused Prime Minister Modi of lying on the India-China border in Ladakh, there has been no reduction in his concerns. Rahul Gandhi says that China has occupied Indian territory and this needs immediate attention.Apart from this, Rahul Gandhi also commented on the situation in Bangladesh. Referring to India's old relations with Bangladesh, he said that India's concerns towards extremist elements in Bangladesh are shared. However, he hoped that the situation in Bangladesh will stabilize soon and relations between the two countries will remain strong.Rahul Gandhi also presented his views on the issue of caste census. He said that 90 percent of the people in India are either tribal, lower caste, Dalit or minority, but their participation is minimal in various institutions of government and media. Gandhi supported the proposed caste census, saying that it would be a transparent and real survey that would expose the reality of the distribution of power in India and ensure that all sections of the country get proper representation.These statements of Rahul Gandhi are not only intensifying the discussion on the political situation in India, but are also highlighting the important problems of Indian politics on the international stage. His visit clearly shows that he is trying to take a coherent and clear approach to Indian and international issues.
