India is witnessing an attack on the institutions that built the country which is now occupied by the Deep State, Rahul Gandhi said Friday at the Ideas for India conference at Cambridge University in London. He was joined by leaders of the opposition, including Sitaram Yechury, Salman Khurshid, Tejashwi Yadav, Mahua Moitra and Manoj Jha, among others.
“We believe India is its people. But the BJP and the RSS believe it is geography. We are not just fighting the BJP; it’s no longer a pure political fight. The BJP has 100 per cent control of the media,” Gandhi said in conversation with author Ashis Ray.
“The Congress is fighting to regain India. It’s an ideological battle now – a national ideological battle. The deep state is chewing the Indian state, much like what happened in Pakistan,” he said as his party continues to struggle with infighting, rebellion, defections and election losses.
