‘When we speak for the country…’: PM Modi targets Rahul Gandhi in gestures in the US Parliament

Washington. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised the members of the US Congress for coming together to celebrate their ties with India, saying there must be a debate on ideas in the country, but people should also unite while speaking for the nation. . Prime Minister Modi addressed the joint session of the US Parliament on Thursday. During this, he has made these comments in the background of repeated attacks on the central government during Rahul Gandhi’s foreign visits.

Significantly, Rahul Gandhi had recently visited America and he often criticizes the Modi government for handling the problems in the country. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party often portrays these remarks by the opposition leader as an attempt to tarnish the country’s image from foreign soil to target the central government.

Prime Minister Modi told American lawmakers, ‘I can understand the debate of ideas and ideology. But today I am happy to see that you have come together to celebrate the relationship between the two great democracies of the world, India and America. Indirectly targeting Rahul Gandhi, he said, ‘Whenever you need a strong bipartisan consensus, I will be happy to help you. Ideas should be debated in the country, but when we talk about our country, we should be united and you have shown that you can do that. Congrats.’

Addressing the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, PM Modi said, ‘As a citizen of a vibrant democracy, I can admit one thing, Mr. Speaker – you have a tough job. I can feel connected to the battles of passion, persuasion and policy.
