The Congress leader invites PM Narendra Modi to a televised debate before media and young people, asking the ruling party to respond to allegations involving foreign connections, the US deal, Adani and Epstein.

New Delhi, November 3, 2026 — Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to participate in an open debate on allegations of foreign connections, the India-US deal, the Adani case and other contentious political issues, asserting that the discussion should establish who is acting against the country’s interests.

In a video statement, Gandhi said 24 hours had passed since he issued the challenge and urged Modi to choose a venue for a public debate.

“You say the opposition is anti-national. Choose any stage and debate me,” Gandhi said, asking who was allegedly connected to foreign forces and what the nature of those connections was.

The Congress leader proposed a public discussion in the presence of the media and young people. He suggested that Modi could nominate its preferred moderator, even proposing RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat as a possible judge for the debate.

“Don’t be afraid. Let us meet,” Gandhi said, calling for an open exchange in which allegations could be examined and the facts established.

Gandhi said the proposed debate would address questions concerning India’s financial system and economic structure, including the circumstances surrounding the India-US deal.

He questioned why the deal was concluded so quickly and whether the Cabinet had been adequately informed.

The Congress leader also raised the Adani case, asking why it had been closed. He referred to the Epstein controversy and said several other issues should be discussed openly.

Gandhi framed the challenge as an opportunity for Modi to respond directly to allegations it has made against the opposition, rather than allowing the political confrontation to continue through public accusations.

Gandhi said he was facing approximately 45 defamation cases and suggested that Modi should also pursue legal action over the foreign-connection allegations if it believed his statements were defamatory.

He argued that such a debate would allow both sides to present their claims publicly and enable audiences to assess the competing arguments.

“Let us discuss everything openly,” Gandhi said, reiterating his invitation to Modi.

The Congress leader ended the statement with a Diwali greeting to Modi.
