Rahul Gandhi slams Centre, says Team India is one where people are united, not divided
Taking on the Centre for dividing the country on religious lines, former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said Team India is one where everyone comes together irrespective of their religion, language or community to overcome challenges that confronts the country.
Speaking at an event for honouring Santosh Trophy winners and distributing football jerseys to various teams in the Malappuram district of Kerala, Gandhi said just like a football or cricket team, which requires all its players to play as a unit to win, India too is a team whose success is “based on all its people, all the religions, all the languages, the States and all the communities” here coming together. ”
