Gandhi made the remarks during a speech in the House of Commons on Wednesday, where he answered a debate on President Ram Nath Kovind’s January 31 address to Parliament, which marked the start of the ongoing budget session.

The former Congress president also warned the government against any illusions. “Don’t underestimate the power standing in front of you. You have brought Pakistan and China together. This is the greatest crime you can commit against the Indian people,” he said.
