Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is on a one-week tour of the United Kingdom, Gandhi praised a participant, Nalini Mehra, daughter of an RSS man and executive director based in London, noting that India needs to return to “his values.”

During an in-conversation session at the Chatham House think tank in London on Monday evening Malini Mehra said “I feel miserable for the condition of my country. My father was an RSS man, proudly; he would not recognize the country, he will bless his soul. How can we commit ourselves, to empower our democracy?”

Malini said she is one among millions of Indians who cannot recognize the country in which they were born. Is that good or something bad? “Said Rahul Gandhi.” What do you think? Why am I here today? I feel miserable … “said Malini.

Answering the question of Malini Mehra, Rahul Gandhi said: “… by telling people the values you defend, the values that are Indians and that you protect, telling everyone in the rest of the world that India needs to return to those values … so thanks. “

“It is the duty of all Indians, everywhere in the world, defend the fundamental values of India and protect our beloved democracy,” Rahul Gandhi wrote by sharing the video.
