Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday quoted intolerance and unemployment as the key issues that pose a serious challenge to India’s national security and development.
Gandhi, who is in the US on a two-week-long tour, held a series of meetings, including a roundtable with eminent Indian/South Asia experts hosted by the Center for American Progress (CAP), a Democratic-leaning think tank.
Among those present were CAP head, Neera Tandon, the former US Ambassador to India, Richard Verma, and Hillary Clinton’s top campaign adviser, John Podesta.
US Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, Thomas J Donohue met Rahul and other senior Congress leaders at an event hosted by US India Business Council (USIBC).
In the meeting, Rahul expressed concern over the inability of the government to create jobs in India, which he felt was leading the country towards a dangerous situation.
