Whats Mrs. Gandhi doing then?
by Abhishek Joshi on Apr 23, 2007 02:14 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

"The use of religion for dividing people and getting electoral benefit is a bane of our age," the prime minister said. "It is a dangerous practice which needs to be curbed"

This is a very correct statement Mr. Prime Minister. But then what is Mrs. Gandhi doing by sending letters written in Urdu?

I am with Abhishek.

He has said the right thing. It is Congress which is asking for votes on religious appeals.

Probably our gentleman PM was referring Sonia Gandhi only. :)

Mr.PM,your statement is laudable.But are you and your party following it?
It is easier to preach than to practice.

Sanjeev,
Before commenting something please understand the essence of it.
I ask you a simple question globally when we refer Sanskrit whom do we refer people of french/latin or greek origin or do we associate with Hinduism that is what he meant

While language need not be attached to religion, sending msgs in Urdu is noting but a ploy to attract minority votes. Particularly when Mrs Gandhi may not understand the language!
