Biggest threat to India today assault on democratic institutions: Rahul
Bogotá: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has once again sharpened his attack on the Narendra Modi-led Indian government
According to Kashmir Media Service, Rahul Gandhi speaking to students at EIA University, said the “biggest threat to India today” is the assault on democratic institutions.
He said, “India is a country of many religions, traditions, and languages. Democracy gives space for all of them. But right now, the democratic system is under attack from all sides.”
Rahul Gandhi, tracing the history of how empires rose and fell during major energy transitions, said the British controlled the coal-and-steam era, while the United States dominated the age of oil and the internal combustion engine. The world, he argued, is now witnessing a shift to electric motors and battery technology — with China and the US vying to control the transition.
Speaking about the United States, the Congress leader remarked that Donald Trump’s politics of polarisation targeted the most vulnerable, especially the unemployed.
