Information

Rahul Gandhi, a congressman, is currently on a 10-day trip to England. The Wayanad MP will spend three days in London where he will speak at the British Parliament, interact with the Indian diaspora, participate in a press conference hosted by the Indian Journalist Association, hold private business meetings, and deliver a speech at renowned London think tank Chatham House.

From March 4 through 6, the top House official will be in London. Next day, he'll depart from the metropolis. IOC chief Sam Pitroda, who represents the Indian Overseas Congress, is with Gandhi.

Sam Patroda said in an interview that Rahul's journey to London is merely an "attachment" to his earlier trip to Cambridge University, where he delivered a presentation earlier this week.

Patroda is a well-known tech entrepreneur and inventor who works closely with Rahul Gandhi on political issues.

Rahul Gandhi will meet with members of the Indian community while in London. According to Kamal Dhaliwal, UK head of the Indian Overseas Congress, "the registrations have surpassed 2,000," in an interview with India Today.

Rahul Gandhi will address the UK Parliament

Rahul Gandhi will speak on March 6 to an audience of UK MPs, Lords, Baronesses, and others in the Grand Committee Room of the Palace of Parliament. "The debate is not confined to a political future, but must embrace the cultural, social, and business ties that bind both nations, as the people are the living bridge," said Virendra Sharma, chair of the Indo-British APPG and an MP of Indian descent.

Sharma elaborated on the real interest being to see ""if the Congress party comes back into power, how they will deal with the future leaders and the future governments of Britain, especially when India and the UK both are fundamentally key allies, democratic, progressive, and committed to the rules-based international order." Sharma clarified that the speech is being held in one of the "parliamentary committee rooms," not the chambers themselves.

What else is coming for Rahul?

On the same day as the occasion in Parliament, Rahul Gandhi will also be giving a speech at Chatham House, one of the top think tanks in the UK. On the weekend, he will also conduct a few confidential business meetings.

The Congressman may also encounter David Lammy, the shadow secretary of state for international, regional, and development affairs for the Labour Party. There hasn't been a formal statement, though. As of now, the Labour Party is predicted to win the next general election in the UK.

The meeting between Rahul Gandhi and Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour party's leader at the time, in May 2022 during his tour sparked debate with the BJP in India.

Due to his position on Kashmir, Jeremy Corbyn is frequently viewed as an "anti-India" character.
