Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, responded to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJPcriticism )’s of his talk at Cambridge University by claiming that he hadn’t disparaged India on foreign soil and that the BJP was misrepresenting his remarks.
On Saturday, he declared, “I have never defamed my nation, and I would never do so,” in a conversation with media in London.

The former Congress President explained that the IT raid on the BBC offices in Delhi and Mumbai is an illustration of the “suppression of speech across the country” in response to a question. “That has been going on in India for the past nine years, but the BBC just learned about it.

The “so-called guardians of democracy,” which include the US and Europe.Congress MP also expressed regret that there is no level playing field in Indian politics for the Opposition any more. “it’s important to understand that the Opposition in India is no longer fighting a political party. We’re fighting the institutional structure of India now; the BJP and RSS which have captured almost all institutions. So, the idea of a level playing field doesn’t exist because the institutions aren’t neutral anymore” he said. “We are fighting the institutions and the RSS and the BJP. Every Opposition leader and the public also understand this,” he added
