government as well as the united states the iranians have said that this act was at the request of the u.s. government and that they are building the british government into siding with them and trying to put more pressure on iran and that is something that will certainly see heightened tension in this region yet again. people in algeria are once again on the streets to demand a new democratic government and to celebrate their country's independence from france on thursday the interim president and the other and some are called for a national dialogue over how to hold presidential elections but did not set a date for the vote protests began in february and led to the resignation of long time president at the lizzie's beautifully in april the scene machinery is no jerry and journalists he joins me now live on the phone from the capital algiers good to have you with us. you've been very close to those demonstrations in the capital on

intimidate members of the opposition those were the headlines more news in half an hour is up next with inside story do stay with us. a party in crisis a role gandhi quits as leader of india's main opposition following a heavy election defeat is this the end of the dynasty that's dominated the country's politics for generations and can the fractured congress party survive this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program i'm glad you mentioned politics in india and the name gandhi would almost certainly come up the family has been at the center of public life for decades but the latest member of the gandhi dynasty is looking to step away from the spotlights gandhi has resigned as leader of the main opposition party the indian national congress the 49 year old took responsibility for big losses in this year's general election against the b j p of prime minister at narendra modi gandhi called for the congress to make hard decisions to rebuild the party saying he does not support modi's vision for india he put in enormous effort norma's effort and i believe that there was appointed which we all felt that he had got the pulse and we would be would be. we would see. coming back with the congress it didn't happen via all

of history disheartened but it is sad that he feels so strongly about leaving we felt very strongly that he shouldn't leave so the congress party was founded in 885 and played a leading role in india's independence from britain in 1947 since then the party has formed most of india's governments the gandhi family has led the congress for 4 generations in 2014 the party suffered a major electoral defeat when prime minister narendra modi's b j p won 92 percent of the seats in the lower house role took over the party's leadership from his mother sonia in 2017 and has long sought to become prime minister just like his father ron mother and great grandfather but the congress suffered a 2nd major loss in this year's general election critics blame the defeat on corruption scandals and

a lack of vision. let's bring in our guests who are joining us from new delhi we have a child he's a professor and dean of the gentile school of international affairs of india. as a journalist and senior fellow at the hindu center for politics and public policy and rounding out our panel is men and run off the coup or an associate professor at the center for political studies. not really university welcome to you all to inside story in orange or if i may starts with you gandhi had been talking of quitting since the results of the elections were announced in may party officials at the time urging him to stay but now he's officially resigned on twitter posting his resignation letter what do you make of it. this is you know this is a great of a citizen of. why do you feel no longer remain

a great party and you know has been a certain kind of insight so there's this is a. younger people to get into politics and also help them in getting by and usually it's not her except the problem more straightforward. why they're quoting the people is you know being on the dime and the focus of the camera and i'm sure this kind of action will generate a kind of sympathy towards him one of the country already in the last of the journey to get very better has been out there you cannot predict who they had and this accident really will reply that rhode island is not nearly far or in the country are being the president of the party but before he might end up i.v.s. now says i just like to offer a party that used to be has declined a visit later so it's that kind of what all of us associate of the border looks at

it the cowardice really and i find it very very interesting and parcel of video do you agree with that assessment and that people now will be sympathizing with a role gone gandhi in your opinion how significant is his resignation in the context of the state of indian politics right now. actually nina in the new speech had a lot of respect always for noonan's ph d. and in the minutes he was here nonces that position be kind to. be a big gun because you don't want to distance and then you know he's in the cockpit and the same thing happens with sonia gandhi's or me as i mean i had the opportunity to them graham and still we go down and then that's happened with gary condit and most of the congressman's because you give the longest space and that has a battery established that she is model to follow. and i think around the beazley

something very similar in the sense that all the see them are 3 to. bike but he's moving a really it's not all for him that was a decent hockey to win but then to be fit for me if you so i can give you an example of what happens with the b.g.p. to be given without a follow up with gagne or between 2004 is the forty's and at that time in fact last seen in a good group of sicily looking at what happened the best of that they didn't look at the other so that we could be good really bad and the from your as sexy as the bomb is that like well i'm going to seeing that the beatles and would do best cover from that defeat but it's really just did not sit down based works if only and a few had won me was that the generals who get the floppy to defeat to get to the defeat in 2009 have to be literally carried away meaning the peaking is creamy the

final pharmacy we haven't in the way of well national health and meagan good to do this for the tissues i'm going to get up there for her to have to do some of this is so when you look at it still to get someone to walk into it is easy if you're probably the 1st and then this happened to me maybe not for the talk about what this means for the party in just a moment but 1st through all your initial thoughts on the gandhi's resignation and so what this means for him. well daryn i must say that one intrigue even east simply on paper because even in 2004 then in our ongoing these mother sonia gandhi quote unquote sacrifice the prime minister position she was didn't you know the public here behind the scenes and got them on who want to see who was a prime minister from 2004 to 2040 was pretty much taking his artist from sonia gandhi so the same i am afraid is going to repeat because even though round

gandhi's family stepping aside he has to because you know they have suffered a major to mco and it would look like an easy to take skin if he is at least not of putting in his papers as the congress party proceeded but that that aside i fear that the culture of psycho fence easy and the percent of the country and the dynasty you know and the notion that anybody from the new family easy enough for us are to be a lot neater than be so pervasive in the congress party that i think he will continue to run it from behind the scenes and in fact if you will not be found the party in the last 70 years he and his mother if they can turn it around and give you know we need. them how can they do it outside the office so i think it shows the quandary that in on one hand they want to show that they had accountable and that this is not a kind of a head of the tree monarchy but on the other hand they are really struggling to

really be irreverent the party the party is broken at the grassroots fell through on the idea well and his resignation letter the gandhi did say rebuilding the party requires hard to says ends and it is important for someone new to lead our party you don't agree that that is the parties want to follow that and i think this someone new is going to be a lie the stuff the man who found really meant on the family if they would never accept that a true outsider remember i go back in history in 1991 there was a prime minister got another similar out. are you was one of the few people who was not a cycle find of the gandhi family who had become the communist party president and believe me in 5 years the undermine you so much from within the party the brought their dragged on so i think it's impossible for them to let go of the finances of the party the treasury's the hands of the new families and they will continue to be you know what use is in this letter probably true from behind the scenes ok i'm not recommending a drug that's not a mantra he may have quit its position or hold on to

a but do you believe that he and his family are willing to let go of powers who are on doesn't seem to think so i mean i think that you know even if the dynasty down is your objects when as remember there. was no beginning part of it had to undergo as you're just. going to be was do you go back to. the very back of the people well that was because the people in the back and that are similarly i think one has had this kind of problems a very bad lot about it but this time i think it's at the bottom of this bybee the barking and therefore somebody is that if i think it is. very good of the party i'm sure if it worked or worked i don't think it matters i don't fancy i think. so how do you know it's not fair we are and be remembered as the doer of their members we're good by the minute don't really mean to give up so there's something that

people are good about i think that the need to have a baby independent now does this are what is going on in the party by it is that outgunned it is now and it is going to be people the people going to masses will be invited by b.p. and divide that younger sisters in the body. i guess this is right kind of thing you know he's deciding i think very big problems from that men are being really the case yes there's a bit got to go but it has to be big of a stretch i don't know about defenses if rb is getting the finances but they're not exactly abu idea but what's going to get that after being. ok the party out of the bottom up why he may not have enough resources at this time so it now or is that the other testing ground for barbie where you can reduce sources for the fever or

not read their words if rights vidia over to you and if you look at his statements in the letter he wrote it is a habit in india that the powerful cling to power no one sacrifices power but we will not defeat our opponents without sacrificing the desire for power and fighting a deeper ideological battle when he talks to people clinging to power who is he referring to here. well i think he's still it's a general statement that says the people who do they really there is no peace loving army anywhere that would use their position even as a defeated there's always the hope that extending can come around and you can wait for before he means it's probably you've got to engender false politicians and also we're going to block the he's made it very clear that the. you will get your responses from his own fucking groups and the bases that broke and a little bit trying to exert more pressure will play quickly and i think.
