In a post shared on Facebook, Rahul Gandhi stated, “Dallas has provided a fantastic start to my USA tour! My interaction with students and faculty at the University of Texas was dynamic and engaging, with thoughtful discussions on politics, production, skill-respect in India, and the vital role of youth and women in shaping the future of our nations.”
“In my address to the Indian Diaspora, I emphasised key values essential to Indian politics: love, respect, and humility. I highlighted the importance of embracing India’s rich diversity–its languages, cultures, and traditions–while upholding the principles enshrined in our Constitution. Like the US, India is a union of states, where all languages, religions and communities are equal,” he added.
