US President Joe Biden to host PM Modi for official state visit to US on June 22
Afore PM Modi’s historic trip to the US on an official state visit, as per Congress leader Sam Pitroda the premier of the world’s most populous nation deserves respect everywhere, and he is “proud” of it.
Pitroda, the chairperson of the Indian Overseas Congress is currently accompanying
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on his three-city six-day US tour.
Even as Gandhi has focused on his alternate vision of India as against that of the ruling BJP and has been highly critical of Prime Minister Modi-led government, he has supported the ruling party’s foreign policy stands on issues like the war in Ukraine and China.
Sam Pitroda affirms that Gandhi knows where India is doing something right, we are all for it. And you see, someone told him that, the Indian Prime Minister is getting a lot of reception. And Pitroda feels happy about it because, at the end of the day, he’s also his prime minister. But let’s not make a mistake. Modi is getting reception since he’s India’s prime minister and not because he’s BJP Prime Minister.
Pitroda further added that a prime minister of a nation of 1.5 billion people deserves respect everywhere. And he feels proud of it. Pitroda is not negative about it
Pitroda also said the they twist every message. They confuse everything and then they convert into personal attacks. Now, that’s certainly not democracy. Have some respect for other human beings. You will send 50 people chasing you on social media with lies.
And the one lie was that this entire trip of Rahul Gandhi was sponsored by Muslims.
What is it? Even if it is sponsored, let’s say the worst case. I mean, they’re citizens of India. What are you talking about? First of all, they have nothing to do with it. The entire trip has been arranged by the Indian Overseas Congress. Pitroda has personally supervised every event, adding that there were a total of about 17 events.
According to Pitroda the ongoing trip of Rahul Gandhi has generated hope and excitement in the US.
Pitroda further added that he and Gandhi are convinced that the message has to go to the global leaders today. Global leaders are not aware of the reality, and implication of it.
He cited an example; they had one major discreet meeting private. They (Pitroda-Gandhi) told them that the periodic table has been taken off the school syllabus. They said it’s not possible and Pitroda asked how come you don’t know this? And evolution theory has been taken off. And they were shocked. They said, how could you be a scientific nation with all these NRIs running multi-billion dollar companies and in their country now the periodic table has been taken off? What will happen to the next generation of people?”
Sam Pitroda said the response Rahul Gandhi received had been tremendous. “People are all excited, they’re very enthusiastic. We have generated hope, and people are asking us, what can I do? How can I help? So, Pitroda has been telling them now that, look, you can help us in many different ways.” Responding to a question, Pitroda said that if Indian democracy goes the wrong way, the world is going to pay for it. “That Pitroda thinks people have to understand. That doesn’t mean we are telling people to come and fix our democracy. No. We are the ones who are gonna fix it. But you better be aware of it because it’ll have an implication for you. It’ll have implications for India. I mean, not only in India but in the world.
