AMRITSAR: A group of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), including key leaders from the Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) in Europe and other regions, has arrived in India to back the Congress Party in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. Their visit underscores the significant role NRIs play in shaping India’s future, not just through financial contributions but also by providing strategic and intellectual support, reported timesofindia.indiatimes.com.
NRIs emphasize Congress’ vision for Delhi’s development
Sukhjeevan Preet Singh Padda, leading the delegation from Belgium, stated that NRI involvement is vital in amplifying the Congress Party’s broad-based vision for Delhi’s future. He stressed that the party is committed to both the welfare of NRIs and the overall growth of Delhi’s citizens, with NRIs playing a crucial role in this progress.
Meetings with Rahul Gandhi and focus on key national issues
Padda and other NRI representatives, including Shubhlata Vashishat from Germany and Kamalpreet Singh Dhaliwal from the UK, visited the Golden Temple and Durgiana Temple before meeting senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

He added that the delegation and Rahul Gandhi shared the view that Prime Minister Narendra Modi fears the Congress Party and its efforts to protect the Constitution.
Rahul Gandhi reportedly emphasized how Congress has historically strengthened ties between India and the global Indian diaspora, creating an environment that allowed NRIs to thrive economically, culturally, and socially worldwide.
NRIs urge Delhi voters to restore Congress’ leadership
Padda asserted that the absence of strong leadership in India has hindered NRI contributions and national progress. The delegation urged Delhi voters to support Congress, expressing confidence that the party could revive the country’s former sense of hope, unity, and progress. They believe that with Congress in power, Delhi and India can regain their past glory and achieve holistic development.
