Santa Clara, May 31: There are people in India who think they know more than God and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "one such specimen", Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said.
Speaking at the 'Mohabbat Ki Dukaan' event organised by Indian Overseas Congress USA in Santa Clara in the US state of California on Tuesday, Gandhi said these people are "absolutely convinced" that they know everything and can explain history to historians, science to scientists and warfare to the army.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Rahul Gandhi Heckled by Khalistanis in US, 'Khalistan Zindabad' Slogans Raised To Disturb Event (Watch Video).

Gandhi, 52, told the Indian Americans that the idea of India was under attack and is being challenged. He applauded the Indian Americans for holding up the Indian flag in America, showing the American people what it means to be an Indian by respecting their culture and learning from them while also allowing the Americans to learn from them.

슬롯사이트œYou make us all proud. When we think of our country, you are all our ambassadors. When America says Indian people are extremely intelligent. Indian people are masters of IT, Indian people are respectful. All these ideas that have come, they've come because of you and because of your actions and your behaviours,슬롯사이트� he said. Gandhi said the poor and people from minority communities feel helpless today in India.
"Indians do not believe in hating each other. A small group of people who control the system and the media are stoking the flames of hatred," he said. "Congress' stand on the Women's Reservation Bill is clear. We're committed to getting the bill passed. We have to give women their deserved space in the political system, businesses and running the country," he said.
