New Delhi, November 02: Sweeping aside the raging controversies over scam in a Mumbai housing project and the Commonwealth Games, the Congress today directed all its firepower against RSS accusing it of involved in terror acts and the BJP on the Babri Masjid demolition issue.
At a day-long session of the AICC, which ratified the election of Sonia Gandhi as Congress President, leaders including Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee avoided any mention of the two scams in their speeches.
In her inaugural speech, Gandhi said Congress and the governments led by her party will “forcefully” resist attempts by anyone to abuse religion for political gains.
Talking about the September 30 Allahabad High Court verdict on Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit, she said it in “no way condones” the demolition of the disputed structure on December 6,1992.
