Congress leader Rahul Gandhi began his 10-day visit to the United States on Tuesday, May 30 - a trip that will see him visit capital Washington DC, New York and San Francisco. The ex-Lok Sabha MP arrived in the latter city on Tuesday. On his first day he interacted with the Indian diaspora and discussed issues like data safety, politics, and the state of democracy in India. He even talked about his disqualification as a Member of Parliament - the ex-Congress chief was disqualified after being convicted of criminal defamation in March by a Gujarat court in the 2019 'Modi surname' case - when asked to comment on the subject by Indian students during an interaction at Stanford University.
