00:00Congress Overseas Chief Sam Petroda details Rahul Gandhi's U.S. visit blueprint.
00:05He has said that Rahul Gandhi will speak on global student movement.
00:08He will also be speaking on global implication of the student's movement.
00:12And he added that BJP is going to make things on Soros during Rahul Gandhi's visit to the United States.
00:20Sam Petroda has also said that BJP might say that Rahul Gandhi met with George Soros.
00:27And Rahul Gandhi, remember, will be visiting Chicago and Columbia University on November 17 and 18.
00:35And ahead of the U.S. visit, Sam Petroda, who is the Congress Overseas Chief, he has given a blueprint
00:41as to what all is on the agenda.
00:44So Rahul Gandhi will be visiting the Chicago University and also the Columbia University where he is likely to speak
00:51on the global student movement.
00:52So it's not just in India where we witness student movements, it's also ongoing in Europe where there has been
00:58tensions on the streets.
00:59There have been clashes between the cops and the locals and it was led by the students over there also
01:06and in several parts of the world.
01:07So this is something that Rahul Gandhi will be speaking on during his visit to the United States.
01:12But the Congress Overseas Chief is also alleging that how the BJP will be making up things as to how
01:19Rahul Gandhi met George Soros during his visit to the United States.
01:23Listen in.
01:25He is here for a fireside chat at Columbia University on global student movement and the implication of that on
01:43overall global politics.
01:48Then he will come to Chicago for a fireside chat with a very distinguished well-known professor, Dr. Pape, on
02:00international affairs and geopolitics.
02:22In fact, the Congress Overseas Chief has also called BJP's foreign link charge as bogus.
02:29Remember, there's a debate that is already ongoing over the foreign links and amid which Rahul Gandhi had also challenged
02:36the Prime Minister for a debate.
02:38And now Sam Petroda has also spoken on that matter.
02:41He's called all the allegations by the BJP against the Congress on having foreign links as bogus.
02:45He has said that nobody gave us any foreign funds.
02:48He's also said that how Congress is not paid to attack Prime Minister Modi and lies and manipulation campaign has
02:55been ongoing against Rahul Gandhi.
02:57And he's even dared the BJP to prove the foreign funding charges that they have been levelling against Rahul Gandhi
03:03and the Congress Party.
03:04Sam Petroda has also said that he's told the BJP to show a photo of Rahul Gandhi with George Soros.
03:11Listen in.
03:13It's all bogus.
03:15Okay, it's all lie.
03:18I know it, na.
03:20I'm here.
03:22Okay.
03:22Nobody has ever given any money.
03:24I will not take money from any foreign donors to distort my democracy or to attack anybody, including my Prime
03:34Minister.
03:35I will not do that.
03:36That's not the character I have.
03:38Okay.
03:40But you will show a picture of me with somebody and say, ah, foreign.
03:43It's just bogus.
03:45There is a limit to lies.
03:47How could you show a picture of Sam Petroda and Rahul Gandhi with George Soros, whom we have never met?
03:54Okay, you show that photograph and then you send it to everybody, including my own family.
03:59My colleague Rahul Gautam is now joining us on this story.
04:02Rahul, a very good morning to you.
04:04So, the debate over foreign links is intensifying with the Congress Overseas Chief Sam Petroda.
04:10Now, daring the BJP, he's given a dare to the BJP to prove their charges that Congress is being funded
04:16by foreign sources.
04:18And he's also dared to show a photo of Rahul Gandhi and George Soros.
04:23And this comes just ahead of Rahul Gandhi's U.S. visit.
04:27I agree.
04:28And, you know, Congress clearly knows that, you know, these things are bound to happen as Rahul Gandhi very soon
04:36going to embark on this U.S. history from 16th.
04:40And as Sam Petroda, who's the head of Indian Overseas Congress, you know, himself has stated that on 17th, he'll
04:49be delivering a lecture in Columbia University.
04:53And on 18th, he'll be in Chicago.
04:55Now, we all know that how, you know, these interactions of Rahul Gandhi in the past also have caused a
05:03lot of uproar in the country,
05:05especially from the BJP who has been accusing Rahul Gandhi of defaming Indian democracy and Indian government on foreign soil.
05:14That too, at the behest of foreign powers and, you know, individuals like George Soros.
05:20However, all these allegations have been rejected by Mr. Sam Petroda, who clearly says that that's just not the, you
05:32know, nature of him or the Congress party to take money from any foreigner and then to defame the Prime
05:39Minister.
05:39In fact, he said that the BJP is only trying to make up things like this only to deflect the
05:45criticism about the things that are happening in our country.
05:47All right, Rahul, thank you for those details and for that context.
05:51So, politics is already intensifying ahead of Rahul Gandhi's visit to the United States.
05:56And they're also anticipating that the BJP will be politicizing the visit in the coming days.
