In a vibrant celebration, the Congress party organized a large-scale job fair to commemorate the 55th birthday of Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha. Sachin Pilot, a prominent Congress leader, hailed the initiative as the "best gift" the party could give, emphasizing its potential to provide employment opportunities for thousands of youth. Pilot challenged the central government to take similar actions, asking if they will focus merely on politics or contribute to the nation's wellbeing.
As Rahul Gandhi arrived at the All India Congress Committee Headquarters on Akbar Road, Delhi, festive cheer enveloped the premises. Party workers and supporters gathered in force to extend their wishes, distributing sweets to mark the occasion. The Congress party lauded Gandhi's commitment to social justice and the marginalized, celebrating him as a "true crusader for justice" on social media.
In contrast, Congress leaders, including Sachin Pilot and Gurjeet Singh Aujla, criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for hosting Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir at the White House. Accusing the U.S. of undermining Indian diplomacy, they urged stronger global alliances and condemned any mediation in Kashmir. Jairam Ramesh highlighted the implications of U.S. actions, questioning the diplomatic fallout and calling for a special parliamentary session to assert India's position on PoK.
