NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha leader of opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi Thursday accused the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of trying to impose its idea of truth on people across India, arguing that every individual must have the freedom to find and define their own truth.Speaking at the “Hara Bhara Swaraj: A Tribute to Rajiv Gandhi’s Vision” programme in New Delhi, the Gandhi Scion described the ideological contest in India as a deeper struggle over how people understand themselves, freedom and their place in society.The Congress leader also drew a distinction between the RSS’s worldview and Mahatma Gandhi’s idea of ‘Swaraj’, saying no organisation or individual could claim to know what is true for another person.”What Gandhiji was saying was that every living being is a unique entity with their own path towards the truth. I cannot tell you what your truth is. Today, the ideological battle in India is precisely that. It is not fundamentally about environment, politics, or free media–those are symptoms. The real fight is that a small group of people have decided, because they control the system, that they know the truth of everyone in this country. That is my problem with the RSS: the RSS has decided that they know the truth of 1.5 billion people. And I say, no. Only 1.5 billion people can know their own truth,” Rahul Gandhi asserted.He said even he could not claim to understand another person’s truth because people’s experiences, families and circumstances are different.”And I say, no. Only 1.5 billion people can know their own truth. Even I cannot do that. If I begin to believe that I know your truth, I would be a madman. Because I am not you. I haven’t faced what you’ve faced; I haven’t seen what you’ve seen; I haven’t dealt with what you’ve dealt with. I don’t have the same parents, the same friends, or the same life. So how can I say that I know your truth?” he added.‘My Experiments with Truth’ reflects individual journeysRahul Gandhi then referred to Mahatma Gandhi’s autobiography, ‘My Experiments with Truth’, saying its title itself reflected the idea that truth is something each person explores through their own life.”Please notice, Gandhiji’s book was not called ‘The Truth’ or ‘My Understanding of the Truth’. It was titled ‘My Experiments with Truth’. I have experiments with my truth; you have experiments with your truth.”Rahul targets BJP-RSS over ‘exclusion’The Congress leader also criticised the BJP and RSS over what he described as the exclusion of sections of Indian society. He said people from different religious and social communities must feel that they have an equal place in the country.”Imagine what the BJP and RSS have done. Imagine if I walked into this room and told 15-17 per cent of you–Muslims, Christians, Sikhs–‘You do not exist, and if you speak up, see what happens to you.’ Then telling 10 per cent Adivasis, ‘We will take your land whenever we want, and if you resist, we will shoot you,’ and Dalits, ‘You are complaining for nothing; everything is fine with the caste system.’ That is what is being done to our motherland. Every single person in this country–regardless of religion, community, or gender–must feel: ‘I belong here. I can walk freely in this country. I am loved, respected, and appreciated here, and my search for truth matters to the nation,'” he said.’Gandhi’s Swaraj is more than freedom’Rahul Gandhi also explained why he believes ‘Swaraj’ should not simply be understood as the same thing as freedom or liberty in the Western sense.He used US President Donald Trump and Mahatma Gandhi to illustrate the difference, arguing that being legally free does not necessarily mean having control over one’s own actions and desires.”‘Swaraj’ is often confused with the Western word ‘freedom.’ People think that Swaraj means freedom; that it means liberty or independence. No–Swaraj means rule over oneself (Swa par raj / self-governance). If you go to America and ask, ‘Is Trump a free man?’, everyone will say, ‘Absolutely.’ But if you ask, ‘Does Trump rule over himself?’, the clear answer is, ‘No, he does not.’ Whereas Gandhiji in a prison 80 years ago would say, ‘I am not free, but I rule over myself. It is Swaraj,'” he explained.The Congress leader said this understanding of Swaraj makes it a personal responsibility rather than something that can simply be granted by a government or another person.”Swaraj is an Indian concept, and it carries deep responsibility. It is a way of thinking, and it is an individual project. I cannot give you Swaraj. Whatever I do… in a Western sense, I can grant you freedom by saying, ‘You are not in prison; I have given you freedom.’ Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesBut I cannot give you Swaraj. Because Swaraj is your personal relationship with the universe. Swaraj is an individual path. And Gandhiji’s conception of Swaraj was that every single person in this country should walk on this path.”His remarks placed the idea of individual self-rule at the centre of his criticism of the RSS, while presenting Gandhi’s philosophy of Swaraj as one based on personal responsibility and the freedom of each individual to pursue their own understanding of truth.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

NEW DELHI: AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday stepped up his criticism of the Centre’s ethanol policy, linking the use of sugarcane for ethanol production to the recent rise in sugar prices and accusing the government of creating a supply problem.In a post on X, Kejriwal said the government had promoted ethanol production from sugarcane to reduce foreign exchange spending on crude oil imports, but was now considering sugar imports because of tighter domestic supplies. “To save the foreign exchange spent on oil imports, they started making ethanol from sugarcane. As a result, there has been a shortage of sugar. Now, they will import sugar using that foreign exchange,” he said.Kejriwal also attacked the government over its handling of the issue, saying, “It’s a government entirely run by illiterates. No one knows what will happen if they do something.”His comments come amid a sharp rise in domestic sugar prices and reports that the government is considering measures, including limited imports and tighter stockholding limits, to improve supplies ahead of the festival season.The former Delhi chief minister has also been leading the AAP’s campaign against E20 petrol, alleging that the government is trying to silence criticism of the ethanol-blended fuel policy. In a video posted on X, Kejriwal claimed that social media content critical of E20 was being removed and questioned how public concerns could be suppressed.“Anyone who raises a voice against E20…their page (is) taken down, their video deleted… FIR filed against them… How will you suppress 1.40 crore people?” he said.Kejriwal used a joke about police forces from the US, Russia and India searching for a lion to criticise the government’s handling of the E20 debate. He said people were being pressured to accept that “E20 is right”.AAP has sought greater disclosure of fuel-quality and vehicle-compatibility testing and has argued that consumers should have a choice of conventional petrol at fuel stations.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesCentre rejects mileage linkThe government has maintained that E20 cannot by itself be blamed for changes in vehicle mileage.The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said on Saturday that E20 had undergone extensive testing and validation, while stressing that real-world fuel economy is affected by factors including driving habits, traffic conditions, vehicle maintenance, tyre pressure and air-conditioner use.“Mileage depends on more than fuel alone. Driving habits, traffic, vehicle maintenance, tyre pressure and AC usage all play a role,” the ministry said.“E20 has undergone extensive testing and validation, while real-world mileage depends on the overall driving and vehicle conditions,” it added.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

NEW DELHI: Leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday penned emotional notes for their mother Sonia Gandhi, who is set to release her memoir ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’ in November.The messages came on the birth anniversary of their father, former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, with both Rahul and Priyanka reflecting the relationship of their parents and the personal losses Sonia Gandhi endured over the years.Rahul, addressing his mother as ‘Mama’, recalled the last time he saw his parents together more than 35 years ago and spoke about Sonia Gandhi’s life after Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination in 1991.”Mama, I last saw you and Papa together more than 35 years ago. Since the day Papa left, I have watched you face everything life threw at you with never-ending courage and dignity,” Rahul wrote on X.”Only Priyanka and I really know what you have been through, and how difficult your life after Papa truly was,” he added.Rahul said he was proud that Sonia Gandhi, who has largely kept her personal life away from public view, had decided to tell her story.”I am happy, and so proud, that your story ‘Belonging: A Journey of Love’ — will finally be read by the millions of people who love you. I know how hard it was for someone as private as you to tell the world your beautiful story,” he wrote.Referring to Rajiv Gandhi’s birth anniversary, Rahul ended the note saying, “Today, on his birthday, I can see Papa smiling and looking down proudly at his beautiful Sonia.”Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also shared a personal message, describing her parents’ relationship as “one of the greatest love stories of our time”.”On my father’s birthday today, I think he would have been especially proud of my mother for having written her story with so much heart and honesty,” she wrote.Priyanka said she felt privileged to have witnessed their relationship and hoped the memoir would allow readers to know Sonia Gandhi beyond her political persona.”For me, it’s one of the greatest love stories of our time. I feel privileged to have witnessed it and I am happy that through her book, everyone will get to know my mother for what she truly is — a brave, loyal, compassionate woman, who is also tough as nails and great fun when she wants to be,” she said.She described Sonia Gandhi as “a woman whose life has been a testament to her love for her husband and her country”, before signing off: “Love you, ma and so, so proud of you.”Sonia Gandhi’s memoir to release in NovemberPublisher Alfred A.
