"In fact, in many moments, I empathise with him. It's not that I think that he is my enemy. He's got a different point of view, I have got a different point of view. I have empathy and compassion for what he is doing. And I think that's a much better place to be in instead of him versus me. I don't think that's productive," said the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, who is on a three-day visit to the US.
The Congress leader has addressed several interactions during his trip to the US and spoken on wide-ranging issues. His remarks have come under sharp criticism by the BJP, which has accused him of insulting India abroad.
