Rahul Gandhi praises Kerala nurses, expatriates in Gulf at poll rally
Kottayam (Kerala) (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday expressed appreciation for nurses and Kerala expats in the Gulf region.
In his election rally in Athirampuzha here, Gandhi said his mother Sonia Gandhi is in the hospital.
“I am feeling comfortable here because Kerala nurses are looking after my mother there. They are kind, they are compassionate, they are gentle. That is why I am comfortable here,” he said.
He said otherwise, he would be wondering whether his mother is well.
“So who is making me comfortable? Women of Kerala. They are looking after me while I am speaking. So can I not protect the women of Kerala?” he asked.
He said nurses from Kerala are widely recognised worldwide for their compassionate and gentle attitude.
Gandhi also had good words for Kerala expatriates in the Gulf.
“You go to West Asia and see the magic of people from Kerala there. People of Dubai have not made Dubai, people of Kerala have built Dubai. It’s simple,” he said.
He said the people of Kerala built Dubai because of their character, their ideas and the way they treat people.
He said as he has been the MP of Wayanad for five years, he learnt these qualities from Kerala.

Food delivery agent intervenes to stop street fight in Delhi's Dwarka, stabbed to death
New Delhi (PTI): A 32-year-old food delivery executive was stabbed to death when he allegedly intervened in a violent altercation between two groups in southwest Delhi's Dwarka, police said on Monday.
The deceased has been identified as Govind Jha, a resident of Mohan Garden.
Three others sustained stab injuries in the incident and are currently undergoing treatment at a hospital, they said.
Authorities also cautioned against attempts to give the incident a communal colour.
According to the police, Jha was on his way to work on Sunday night when he noticed a street fight taking place at Rajapuri in Madhu Vihar area of Dwarka. The altercation involved two men pitted against three others, who were later identified as Parvesh, Anish and Rohit.
"Jha stopped at the spot and attempted to intervene. During the scuffle, the two men allegedly pulled out knives and began stabbing Parvesh, Anish and Rohit. When Jha tried to intervene, he was also attacked," a police officer said.
All four injured persons were rushed to a nearby hospital, where Jha succumbed to his injuries during treatment. The other three men are under medical observation.
Police said the accused fled the spot after the incident, and multiple teams have been formed to identify and apprehend them.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Kushal Pal Singh, in a statement, said that some messages circulating on social media are attempting to give a communal angle to the incident.
"In the incident, four people suffered stab injuries and were admitted to the hospital. One person died at the hospital, and the remaining three are undergoing treatment. The victims belong to two different communities. The accused stabbed all four victims. Dwarka Police is conducting a search for the accused," the DCP said.
"There is no communal angle to the incident. Strict action will be taken against those spreading false information," he said.
