Hyderabad, Nov 11 (Maxim News): Hyderabad will host the second edition of the Bharat Summit on November 13 and 14, bringing together more than 1,000 delegates from over 70 countries.
The international event will provide a platform for discussions on democracy, political and economic policies, and emerging global challenges.
The Congress government aims to position the summit as a global forum similar to the World Economic Forum’s Davos summit.
Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said the summit would focus on protecting democratic values, non-violence and non-alignment.
He said these principles had become increasingly important amid rising violence, hate politics and divisive tendencies worldwide.
Bhatti Vikramarka highlights democratic values
Bhatti said Mahatma Gandhi’s principle of non-violence remained relevant across the world. He also highlighted Jawaharlal Nehru’s policies of non-alignment and a mixed economy.
He stressed that a strong Opposition was essential to parliamentary democracy. According to him, the ruling party and Opposition must coexist within democratic institutions.
He said treating political opponents as enemies and attempting to eliminate them went against democratic principles. He also invited political parties and leaders to participate in the summit.
Bhatti criticised attempts to remove eligible voters through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. He said the Election Commission of India and governments had a responsibility to protect every citizen’s voting rights.
Summit to discuss economy, technology and Gen Z issues
IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu said the summit aimed to discuss solutions to global challenges. He maintained that the event was not intended to serve any political purpose.
Rejecting BJP leaders’ claims that the summit was being organised to relaunch Rahul Gandhi, Sridhar Babu said the Congress leader was already a recognised national and international figure.
He said discussions would cover the economy, youth, technology and issues raised by Gen Z.
The summit would also examine the Special Intensive Revision process and its implications for democracy.
