It appears that Cusack closely monitors political developments that are happening in India. Earlier, the Blood Money actor extended his support to the farmers' protest and the protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in India.
The actor also replied to a user who thanked him for his support of Rahul Gandhi. He wrote, "Yes-solidarity to all anti-fascists everywhere!"
The ongoing 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' from Kanyakumari to Kashmir will be completed in 150 days and cover 12 states. Rahul Gandhi along with other Congress leaders will cover a distance of 25 km every day.
Interestingly, Cusack’s tweet comes ahead of the Congress presidential election. The election for the party’s top post will be held on October 17 and the results will be declared on October 19.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on September 23 confirmed his candidature for the upcoming Congress president's election. Rahul Gandhi clarified that "no member of the Gandhi family" would become the next party president.
