New Delhi, Dec. 17: The Congress general secretary, Mr Rahul Gandhi, on Friday put the record straight about his views on “terrorism and communalism” against the backdrop of his reported statement that “radicalised Hindu groups” posed a bigger threat than outfits like the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba after the statement whipped up a political storm.
WikiLeaks released a secret US diplomatic cable from the US ambassador to India, Mr Timothy Roemer, to Washington in which the envoy quoted a statement he purportedly had with Mr Gandhi in New Delhi in July 2009.
The Congress issued a statement later on Friday afternoon explaining Mr Gandhi’s views and stated terrorism and communalism of all types is a threat to India.
