New Delhi, August 17th: Rahul Gandhi, a prominent figure in the Congress party, is reportedly scheduled for a two-day excursion to Ladakh, commencing today, as confirmed by party insiders. This visit is slated to take place on Thursday and Friday, marking his first journey to the region after prior trips to Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar and Jammu.
Despite previous visits to other parts of the region, Rahul Gandhi had not been able to include Ladakh in his itinerary. The specifics of his plans during this visit remain undisclosed at this time.
In January of this year, Rahul embarked on the “Bharat Jodo Yatra,” taking him to Jammu and Srinagar. Subsequently, he made a personal trip to Jammu and Kashmir in February; however, he was unable to include Ladakh in that visit.
Furthermore, sources have revealed that Rahul Gandhi is slated to undertake a tour of Europe in the second week of September, encompassing Belgium, Norway, and France. During this tour, he is expected to engage with European Union Parliamentarians, the Indian diaspora, and students from various universities.
This foreign sojourn follows his 10-day visit to the United States in May, during which he visited San Francisco, Washington DC, and New York. Throughout this trip, he interacted with diverse groups, including the Indian diaspora, venture capitalists, and lawmakers.
Rahul Gandhi’s overseas travels have drawn attention, particularly since his speech at Cambridge University earlier this year. In that address, he expressed concerns about the state of Indian democracy, emphasizing the challenges it faces. He commented, “Indian democracy is under pressure and under attack. We are facing an attack on the basic structure of Indian democracy.”
