Rahul Gandhi Marks Inauguration Of Indira Bhawan; Criticizes RSS Chief’s Remarks On India’s Independence

Addressing the gathering, Rahul Gandhi stated, “We are inaugurating our new headquarters at a very significant time. It’s symbolic that yesterday, the RSS chief stated India didn’t achieve true independence in 1947 but only after the Ram Mandir was built. This building is not ordinary – it has emerged from the soil of our country, representing the hard work and sacrifices of millions. The fruit of the freedom movement was our Constitution, which Mohan Bhagwat implicitly criticized, suggesting it doesn’t symbolize our freedom. This party has always stood for a particular set of values, reflected in this building.”

The headquarters, which honors former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, took over 15 years to complete.

Over 400 prominent Congress leaders attended the inauguration, including members of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) presidents, Congress MPs, and several former Chief Ministers and Union Ministers.
