No organization should be under pressure and control
During the press conference at the Press Club, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said,” India has very strong systems which already exist, those systems have become weak. If the democratic system is promoted, the issues will be resolved automatically. You must have an independent set of institutions that are not under any pressure and control… The Congress party is the institution that conceptualized institutions. We do not see them as our institutions, we see them as state institutions, we have ensured that there is independence and neutrality in these institutions.”
Weak press freedom in India
Talking to reporters at the National Press Club in Washington DC, USA, Rahul Gandhi further said that the freedom of the press in India is weakening, which is not hidden from anyone and is known to all. I think freedom of the press is important for a democracy and criticism should be heard. It is not just about the freedom of the press, it happens everywhere. Screws are also being tightened on the institutional structure… You should ask this question to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I don’t know how you would do this, but you should ask him.
Opposition is united, we will defeat BJP: Rahul
On the question of support to Kejriwal over the Centre’s ordinance against the Delhi government, Rahul Gandhi said,” Internal discussion is continued. Opposition is united, we will defeat BJP. I don’t think PM Modi will be able to win 2024. If you consider and pay your attention to math’s, you will also understand. There is a war going on in India. There is a vision, a polarizing vision, which the BJP is promoting. There is another approach which is inclusive democracy and it is very huge. Gandhi added, “I think the Congress party will perform very well in the next two years. Wait for the next three or four state elections and you will see that something very good is going to happen.”
