BJP ‘rewriting’ history to give themselves role in freedom movement: Sonia Gandhi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday accused the BJP of “rewriting” history to give themselves a role they do not deserve in the freedom movement. She made the observation at the 137th foundation day celebrations of the party.

“Divisive ideologies anchored in hate and prejudice and which had no role whatsoever to play in our freedom movement are now causing havoc on the secular fabric of our society. They are rewriting history to give themselves a role they do not deserve. They inflame passions, instill fear, and spread animosity.

The finest traditions of our parliamentary democracy are being deliberately damaged. The Indian National Congress will fight these destructive forces with all might at its command. ” she said. Though there have been electoral losses the party will fight, Sonia Gandhi said, adding that electoral ups and downs are inevitable but what is enduring and lasting is her party’s commitment to the service of all people of the diverse society.

“Let there be no doubt on our steadfast resolve. We have never and we will never compromise on our fundamental beliefs that are part of our glorious legacy, “she said.
