Rejecting BJP’s allegation that her party was going soft on terrorism, Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday sought to hit at the saffron party’s national security plank by pointing out that various terrorist attacks took place under BJP-led NDA rule. Addressing an election campaign meeting in this district headquarters town, she said “our opponents are levelling all kinds of allegations against us. But people know the truth. We cannot tolerate this charge against us of going soft on terrorism”. “Everybody knows that Congress has always fought against terrorism and even sacrificed its leaders such as Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi”. “We want to ask the BJP leaders as to who freed the terrorists during Kandahar hijacking. Whether it was attack on Parliament, attack on Akshardham temple in Gujarat or attacks in Kashmir..all these attacks of terrorism happened under the BJP government. Whom are they trying to fool”? she said.
