Rahul Gandhi reached San Francisco to visit three cities of America

San Francisco. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi arrived here on Tuesday for a three-city tour of the US. During this, he will meet people of the Indian community and American lawmakers. Party sources said Rahul Gandhi was received at the airport by Indian Overseas Congress President Sam Pitroda and other members of the organisation. Rahul had to wait for two hours at the airport for immigration clearance. Several people traveling with Rahul Gandhi in the same flight took selfies with him while waiting in the queue. When people asked him why he was standing in the queue, he said, “I am a common man. I like this. I am no longer an MP.

Rahul is likely to interact with students at the prestigious Stanford University in San Francisco. He will then address a press conference in Washington and hold meetings with lawmakers and people associated with institutions. The 52-year-old Congress leader is also expected to address Indian-Americans and interact with Wall Street executives and university students during his week-long visit to the US. He is scheduled to end his tour with a public event in New York on June 4. The talk will take place at the Javits Center in New York. Pitroda had said last week that Rahul Gandhi’s visit was aimed at promoting shared values ​​and vision of a “real democracy”.

Rahul Gandhi was issued a new normal passport on Sunday for travel. The former Congress president had applied for a normal passport after surrendering the diplomatic passport issued to him as a Member of Parliament. The former Congress president was disqualified as an MP by a court in Gujarat’s Surat after he was convicted in a criminal defamation case. After this, Rahul had returned the diplomatic travel passports.
