Speaking at the 'Mohabbat Ki Dukaan' event organised by Indian Overseas Congress USA in Santa Clara in the US state of California on Tuesday, Gandhi said these people are 'absolutely convinced' that they know everything and can explain history to historians, science to scientists and warfare to the army.
A few Khalistani supporters tried to disrupt Gandhi's speech but were taken out by the security personnel. Indian Overseas Congress chairperson Sam Pitroda, who accompanied Gandhi at the event, said that India needs a 'young mind' like Gandhi to lead the country.
Gandhi's event was attended by community members not only from Silicon Valley but also from Los Angeles and Canada, said President of Indian Overseas Congress Mohinder Singh Gilzian.
Sam Pitroda said Gandhi's visit is aimed at promoting shared values and a vision of 'real democracy'.
