New Delhi, December 19: In a frontal attack on the RSS and its affiliates, the Congress Plenary today raised the pitch against saffron forces by demanding a probe into their “links” with terror after Sonia Gandhi condemned both majority and minority communalism.
While terror and communalism figured in a major way on the opening day of the two-day conclave, corruption that has hit the party and the UPA government headed by it was also a key topic of discussion with Gandhi suggesting fast-tracking of corruption cases including those against politicians.
In her Presidential address, Gandhi outlined a four-point action plan to battle corruption by bringing corruption cases to a closure in a defined time-frame, ensuring transparency in public procurement and Congress Chief Ministers and all ministers to give up discretionary powers especially in land allotment that breeds corruption.
