Rahul Gandhi Comments on Increasing Violence and Lack of Understanding in Politics and International Relations

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stated that current politics and international relations are moving towards 'darkness' and away from understanding, with violence often replacing dialogue. Speaking at an event in Kollam commemorating the centenary of a meeting between Mahatma Gandhi and reformist saint Sree Narayana Guru, he emphasized their advocacy for love, respect, forgiveness, and understanding. Gandhi highlighted the challenge of following their teachings beyond symbolic gestures and contrasted power with force, drawing lessons from Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent resistance against British rule.
