"We should take lessons on how to treat women from the society in Meghalaya where life is women centric," Rahul said while addressing an election rally here.
At the rally, women from in and around the North Garo Hills listened to the youngest of the Gandhi scions who narrated how the family of the grandson of Meghalaya's first chief minister Capt W A Sangma and his grandmother shared a cordial relation since 1972.
The Congress nominated Daryl W Momin as the party candidate to fight against former Lok Sabha Speaker and NPP president P A Sangma from the Tura seat, which the latter and his family had held for over three decades.
"Our party stands for unity among the whole country and that is the idea we stand for. We condemned the incident. The opposition, however, does not agree with our views," he said.
Hitting out at BJP, he said the opposition likes to divide the people.
Emphasising on improving connectivity, Rahul highlighted the Congress' ambitious plan to connect land-locked Meghalaya through road, rail and air links with the rest of the country.
