Rahul went on a week-long political tour in the UK, where he was invited to speak at Cambridge University’s Judge Business School on “Learning to Listen in the 21st Century” on February 28.

Rajnath Singh responded to the Congress MP’s statement and said, “Rahul Gandhi, a Lok Sabha member, went to London and tried to ‘discredit’ India, claiming that the country’s democratic structure is entirely disintegrating. He also stated that foreign countries should intervene to defend India’s democracy. He attempted to “seriously wound” India’s honor and prestige.”
