“True unity is found when we break bread with those whose stories differ from our own, for it is in these moments that we realize our shared humanity transcends all boundaries.”
On Monday (August 14), Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had a meeting with vegetable vendor Rameshwar and also shared a meal with him at his home.
The Congress party shared a picture of the meeting on its former Twitter account.
Prior to this, Rameshwar had expressed his desire to meet Rahul Gandhi through a video, which had gone viral on social media. Rameshwar expressed his happiness after meeting Rahul Gandhi.
After the meeting, Rahul Gandhi mentioned that Rameshwar is a kind-hearted person who smiles even in adverse circumstances. His video had deeply moved the entire nation. Due to inflation, Rameshwar was unable to afford buying tomatoes, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Addressing the rich-poor gap
After watching this video, Rahul Gandhi remarked that the country is being divided into two categories.
On one hand, there are powerful people protected by authority, shaping the nation’s policies according to their whims.
On the other hand, there is the common Indian citizen, whose access even to basic necessities like vegetables is dwindling.
We need to bridge this gap between the rich and the poor, and wipe away these tears.
Expressing the desire to meet Rahul Gandhi
Subsequently, in another video, Rameshwar expressed his wish to meet Rahul Gandhi.
He said, “Can I have a conversation with Rahul Sir (Rahul Gandhi)? I want to express my gratitude to him.
Not only that, Rahul invited the vegetable vendor to his house and shared a meal with him.
It would be an honor for me if Rahul Ji meets someone like me, a common man.” When this video reached Rahul Gandhi, he personally visited Aazadpur Mandi to meet Rameshwar.
It is noteworthy that Rameshwar hails from Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh. He has been residing in Delhi for the past 10-12 years and sells vegetables here
