It is not just an organisational post, it is an ideological post, which represents a belief system and vision of India," said Rahul Gandhi.

On the nation-wide raids on the offices and other premises of the Popular Front of India (PFI), Gandhi said that "all forms of communalism regardless where they come from should be combated."

"All forms of communalism and violence, regardless of where they come from, are the same & should be combated. There should be zero tolerance," he said.
