Congress Party Chief and Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, has not received an invitation to the G20 gala dinner, prompting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to voice his concerns. Gandhi, who is currently on a European tour, accused the government of not valuing the leaders who represent 60% of India’s population.
The exclusive G20 gala dinner, set to be hosted by President Droupadi Murmu, is scheduled for Saturday at Bharat Mandapam, the venue for the G20 summit of world leaders. The omission of Mallikarjun Kharge from the guest list has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about the government’s intentions.
Interacting with the media at the Brussels Press Club in Belgium, Rahul Gandhi shared his thoughts on the matter, emphasizing that the government’s actions reveal its mindset. When asked about the exclusion of Kharge, Gandhi remarked, “They have decided not to invite the Leader of the Opposition. It tells you something. It tells you that they don’t value the leader of 60% of India’s population.”
Gandhi’s statement has prompted reflection on the significance of this decision. He urged people to contemplate why the government chose to exclude Kharge and what underlying thought processes might be driving this action.
Rahul Gandhi’s European tour includes meetings with members of the European Parliament (MEPs) in Brussels, where he discussed a range of issues. The exclusion of Mallikarjun Kharge from the G20 gala dinner has become a focal point of discussion during Gandhi’s international visit, shedding light on the dynamics of Indian politics and the relationship between the government and the opposition.
