Gandhi was present at a press conference in Dubai and said the issue is much more complicated than what it seems and he would leave it to the people of Kerala to decide.

However, he admitted that he has changed his stance on the topic. "After I spoke to the people in Kerala and the Pradesh Congress Committee team in the state and they explained the details, I realized that the issue is much more complicated and both sides have a valid position. I would leave it to the people to decide on this," he said.
