A day after making a statement to the Shiv Sena and their threatening ways in Mumbai, Rahul Gandhi is in Kerala, continuing with his countrywide interaction with young people.
Rahul addressed about 100 elected members of the district and state level members of the Kerala Students Union and those from Lakshadweep.
Referring to his impromptu train ride in Mumbai on Friday he said that though there had been a few Sena protesters on the train, there were thousands of supporters. He also said this was the way to oppose the Sena, not by violence but by mobilising people.
On his visit to Mumbai on Friday, Rahul Gandhi addressed college students and urged them to join politics.
It is interesting that Rahul Gandhi's logic painted himself in a corner while interacting with students in Mumbai when he said that his great great-grand father was from UP and therefore he was a UPite, his great grandfather was from Kashmir and therefore he was a Kashmiri, his grandfather was from Mumbai and therefore he was a Mumbaiite and his mother was from Italy and therefore he was an ...! He caught himself in time to avoid his slip of logic and went on to say that he is from Delhi and therefore he was a Delhiite, which, therefore, qualified him to be a pucca Indian. Moreover, he appears to have got his personal history wrong when he said that his forefathers went from UP to Kashmir whereas Nehru in his Discovery of India writes that they were originally from Kashmir and settled in UP. A slip of knowledge here. His commuting in a local train in Shiv Sena's den appears to have excited him so much that he got his logic and facts wrong!
