JNU, Sept 29
JNU NSUI under the leadership of recently elected President of NSUI’s JNU unit Sunil Kumar Jhajharia organised a public interaction with Congress MP and NSUI incharge Rahul Gandhi. The young MP  faced numerous questions by the left wing. Earlier, before the interactions, he had his dinner in one of the boys hostel.
Not only he answered the students queries but confronted the left wing with  the questions like  "Where will the money for development come from?"
Some students were not happy with his response on issues like "Right to Education" Bill where he candidly accepted that he was not aware of certain parts of the Bill.
Mr Gandhi also wondered when he goes to a Dalit's house he is asked  "why do you go to a Dalit's house?" and when thousands of leaders do not visit Dalit houses nobody cares. He also stated he visits a person's house but it is the media
which say it is a Dalit or an Adivasi's house.
A student of JNU Prakash K Ray says  "I asked him about the shift in the foreign policy and why Congress abandoned the policy of solidarity with Palestine. I also asked him what happened to our solidarity with Africa and other Asian countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, also about NAM. I reminded him of Gandhi, Nehru, and even Mrs Indira Gandhi. His response was that the world polity has changed, so our policies but still the govt is committed to those ideals."
Anand Pandey another JNU  student says " Rahulji came to JNU like a common person, had dinner with us in the mess and JNU students reallly appreciated this gesture."
