Issues must be raised within India, not on international forum: Varun Gandhi declines invitation to speak at Oxford

While Rahul Gandhi is facing lot of flak for opening criticising India’s status quo in London, his cousin and BJP Leader Varun Gandhi has emerged as a great example for the Congress leader to take some inspiration.

BJP MP Varun Gandhi has informed that he has declined an invitation to speak at Oxford University on the state of the Indian democracy, saying he feels it is better to raise critical issues ‘within’ India and not on an international forum.’

In his reply to Oxford’s invitation, Varun had said, “It is a mark of great honour to be invited to debate at such a prestigious academic platform as the Oxford Union. While I thank you for this privilege, I must regretfully decline as I believe the chosen topic is not one that offers much scene for debate or dispute,” he said.
