NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi<\/a> on Thursday said the party’s job was to make India \u201cexpress itself\u201d and claimed the BJP-led government was increasingly unsettled by people’s voices. Speaking at the Ratchnatmak Congress National Convention, the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha also took several digs at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, home minister Amit Shah and the RSS.\u201cOur job is very simple and we can drive them crazy…I am telling you, (PM) Narendra Modi does not sleep at night,\u201d Rahul said. Referring to Shah, he added, \u201cYou saw (HM) Amit Shah, what did they used to call him? Chanakya? And Sardar Patel… Where has he disappeared? He could not enter Parliament House… Why? Because, for the first time, they are feeling India\u2019s expression…\u201dGandhi said the Congress would seek to challenge what he described as the BJP’s attempt to impose a particular political order on the country.\u201cWhat was happening at Jantar Mantar is that students want to express themselves. They are in pain, and they want to express themselves, and the government says no. We are going to create order at Jantar Mantar. You cannot express yourselves,\u201d he said.\u201cSo their job and their political philosophy is to impose an order on India, an order that benefits them and certain other people. And our job is to make India express itself and break that order,\u201d Gandhi added.He was referring to the protests at Jantar Mantar over the NEET-UG paper leak. The CJP-led protest ended after Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as education minister, while opposition parties in Parliament demanded a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah on the alleged police action against protesters.Gandhi also attacked the RSS, saying the organisation did not understand contemporary India. \u201cI can understand if you are fighting the British Empire and suddenly you say, I’m feeling a bit scared. But you’re fighting a bunch of jokers. How can you feel scared? You’re literally fighting a bunch of jokers, clowns who have no idea about our philosophy, no idea about our history. I can naturally say this about my friends in the RSS. It’s obvious to me,\u201d he said.\u201cIn fact, it’s obvious to most people that these people have no understanding of India. Why? Because somebody who cannot connect with India as it is today cannot understand India. To understand India, you can’t understand India 3,000 years ago. You have to understand it today, right now. And to understand it today, the only way to understand it today is to understand its expression,\u201d he added.Rahul attacks govt over Iran war, China<\/span>The LoP also criticised the government’s foreign policy, referring to the war in Iran and India’s ties with the US, Russia and Iran.\u201cWar broke out in Iran. For India\u2014had it recognized its own strength and had its leader been someone like Indira Gandhi\u2014this presented the greatest opportunity in the world,\u201d he said.\u201cWhat kind of opportunity? Iran was our old friend, America was our friend, and Russia was our friend. We could have stepped up, become relevant, and leveraged these friendships. But what actually happened? Nothing of the sort. Instead, Pakistan stepped in and took our place; Pakistan became the mediator, while India and Modi-ji simply looked on,\u201d Gandhi claimed.He also alleged that the government was suppressing information about India’s border situation with China.\u201cRajnath Singh, Amit Shah, and Narendra Modi have been completely deflated. They are calling up all the media editors, telling them, \u2018Don’t publish this in your newspapers; suppress the story.\u2019 They are causing direct harm to the country without a second thought,\u201d he alleged.Gandhi further referred to the government’s response after the Galwan clash and claimed that India’s position had weakened its negotiations with China.\u201cAfter the Galwan incident, the Prime Minister held a meeting\u2014a Zoom call. He stated that China hadn’t taken a single inch of Indian territory. The Army said that our land had been taken. Just think about the message sent to China: Chinese negotiators asked our negotiators, \u2018What nonsense are you talking about? Your own Prime Minister said no land was lost.\u2019\u201dHe alleged that the government’s foreign-policy decisions were ultimately driven by political funding, adding, \u201cAnd they did all of this solely to finance their political structure, to secure funds from Adani ji.\u201dRahul also criticised what he described as the government’s approach to diplomacy, saying foreign policy could not be reduced to personal relationships between leaders.\u201cI don’t know where it came from; this idea got into their heads. I don’t know who put it there or where it came from, the idea that foreign policy means hugging politicians,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
