SFI Condems Rahul Gandhi's comparison of Mao with Narendra Modi

Press Release - Students Federation of India                                                  28-11-2010
 In a statement made yesterday Mr. Rahul Gandhi has equated Narendra Modi with Mao Zedong.
Mao Zedong, who led the revolutionary transformation of China in the 20th century, is one of the greatest leaders and political thinkers of the world.  The Chinese revolution is one of the most significant events in world history, where the world’s most populous country ushered in a new era after a long drawn struggle against feudal and colonial exploitation. To compare such a personality with Narendra Modi, whose regime aided genocide against Muslim minorities in Gujarat in 2002, is an affront to the struggle of toiling masses throughout the history of humankind. Such an understanding can only arise from one’s inability to differentiate between the struggle against injustice and exploitation, and attempts to flare up fascistic hatred against religious minorities.
 The statement reveals Mr. Rahul Gandhi’s erroneous and preposterous understanding of politics and world history.
