The Congress has reiterated its willingness to hold a public debate with Prime Minister Narendra Modi after Rahul Gandhi challenged him to discuss major national issues. Senior Congress leader Pawan Khera supported the proposal, making it clear that the party was ready for a direct discussion.
Reacting to Gandhi’s invitation, Khera said, “We are waiting,” signalling the Congress leadership’s interest in taking the proposed debate forward.
Rahul Gandhi Wants National Issues Discussed Publicly
Rahul Gandhi has called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to participate in an open discussion covering several important matters concerning the country.
The Congress leader proposed that the debate should take place in the presence of journalists and young people, allowing both sides to present their arguments before the public.
The issues highlighted by Gandhi include the India-US trade agreement, India’s financial system, the Adani controversy and allegations involving foreign connections.
As Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi has maintained that a direct exchange would provide an opportunity to examine these matters and seek answers.
Pawan Khera Expresses Confidence in Congress Position
Pawan Khera’s response has added weight to the Congress party’s demand. His statement reflects the leadership’s willingness to participate in a discussion rather than allow the political disagreement to remain limited to public speeches.
The party has continued questioning government decisions and seeking explanations from the Centre on various national matters.
Debate Invitation Keeps Political Rivalry in Focus
The proposed discussion comes amid continuing differences between the BJP and Congress over economic policies, governance and allegations of foreign influence.
Although Rahul Gandhi has issued a public invitation and Pawan Khera has expressed readiness, the source report does not confirm any agreement for a debate between the two leaders.
The possibility of Prime Minister Modi accepting the challenge remains uncertain. Nevertheless, the issue has become another point of political discussion between the ruling party and the Opposition.
