New Delhi:

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is in America these days, where he is surrounding the Modi government. Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar has targeted him about this. "Some things happen above politics. He also said that I will not do political debate during my foreign trip. The External Affairs Minister is currently in South Africa to attend the BRICS Foreign Ministers' meeting. Jaishankar was interacting with the Indian community in Cape Town. Meanwhile, an Indian-origin man questioned Rahul Gandhi's us visit without naming him. Asked what he had to say on "somebody's" remarks in the US, Jaishankar said, "Look, I can speak for myself. I try not to do politics when I go abroad. If I have to debate, I will do it in my own country."

The
Minister further said, "In a democratic country, everyone has a collective responsibility, national interest, collective image. Some things happen above politics. You should keep these things in mind when you step out of the country. "I can have a different opinion with anyone and I have a different opinion from them. But how do I answer it, I will go home and answer. You will see me when I go back.


While addressing the people of Indian origin in Santa Clara, USA, Rahul Gandhi described PM Modi as a sample. He had alleged that the impact of the work of the PM Modi-led government was being felt by the minorities, Dalits and tribal communities.

"Muslims are feeling it directly because it is being done to them in the most direct manner, but it is being done to all communities," the Congress leader said. "The way you (Muslims) are feeling, I can guarantee that Sikhs, Christians, Dalits and tribals are also feeling the same way. You can't cut hate from hate, it can only be done through love.
