San Francisco: Speaking at Stanford University, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi clarified that he was not seeking any international support, saying “our struggle is our own”.
Rahul, who is on a six-day tour of the United States, was asked on Wednesday at a rally by the California varsity team what he thought of the many opposition parties around the world seeking international support.
In response, the former congressman said: “I’m not looking for anyone or anybody’s support. I’m very clear that our fight is our fight.”
The congressional leader said he wanted to talk to and build relationships with a group of young students from India at Stanford.
“I think it is my right to do this and I don’t understand why Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not here to do this. The Prime Minister needs to answer some tough questions,” Rahul said.
The BJP has repeatedly attacked Rahul Gandhi for slandering the country abroad.
The saffron party earlier slammed the former Congress president after meeting Chinese diplomats during the India-China dispute.
Rahul arrived in San Francisco on Tuesday morning to begin his US tour, during which he will meet with US lawmakers, think tanks and speak at the Harvard Club.
After being disqualified from parliament, he had to surrender his diplomatic passport and currently travels on an ordinary passport.
On Tuesday night, he interacted with the Indian diaspora here.
While in California, he will also meet with Silicon Valley venture capitalists, tech executives and students.
