Sonia gandhi

Uri (JK) Cautioning India's neighbours that its efforts at forging friendly ties should not be construed as a "weakness", Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday said the country will never bow before terrorism and will give a befitting reply.

"We will not bow down before terrorists. We will give a befitting reply," Gandhi said at an election rally in this town on Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road.

The Congress president said the country has taken "several steps to have a friendly and brotherly relationship with our neighbours.

"We are extending the hand of friendship to our neighbours but that should not be considered as our weakness," she said.

Gandhi said terror has no religion and "we will counter it ". She said there will be no compromise with those who are against humanity and human values.

On the Kashmir issue, Gandhi said "we are ready for talks at any level within the framework of Constitution for the welfare of the people".

"We are a peace loving country. Peace is imperative for the development of the country," the UPA chairperson said.

Asserting that the Congress wanted the whole country to be on the path of development, Gandhi said, "we have presented our report card. Judge us by our performance and compare it with that of others."

Tiger by the tail by Nuthara on 04 Dec 2008

Funny….. How can Indian Government give befitting reply to terrorists while people like Karunanidhi, openly supports terrorists like LTTE, who killed Indian leader, Rajiv?? India promised the world to join hand with anti-terrorism, but now trying to intervene to stop humanitarian mission of SL government. Dr. Mohan, have you heard the Tiger by the Tail story? That is what will happen to India, if India supports terrorists like LTTE.

BEFITTING REPLY... DEFENCE by K.P.PILLAI on 04 Dec 2008

IN WHAT WAY MADAM, THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE BEFITTING REPLY TO PAKISTAN. THE PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED OF THIS ATTACK WANT ACTION, NOT SWEET COATED POLITICAL STATEMENTS. WHEN INDIRA GANDHI WAS SHOT DEAD, YOUR PARTY AND THE THEN GOVT. GAVE BEFITTING REPLY TO THE SIKHS; WE SAW IT. WHEN RAJIV GANDHI WAS KILLED, YOUR PARTY AND OTHERS GAVE BEFITTING REPLY TO TAMILIANS. THAT ALSO WE SAW. THE BOMBAYITES DID NOT GO FOR IT TO GIVE BEFITTING REPLIES LOCALLY. THE PEOPLE ARE WAITING TO SEE THIS BEFITTING REPLY. WHEN CAN WE KNOW THIS? THE FOREIGN AND DEFENCE MINISTERS WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BUSY IN THEIR DESKS HAVE BEEN SENT FOR POLITICAL SETTLEMENT IN MAHARASHTRA, TO SERVE THE INTEREST OF YOUR CONGRESS. WAS THIS A PART OF BEFITTING ACTION YOU ARE ADVOCATING. YOU HUMILIATED THE NATION WITH THE APPOINTMENT OF AN OLD LADY TO BECOME THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY. AND ARE YOU FURTHER TEASING US WITH THE USE OF BEGITTING REPLY ? PLEASE, NO MORE TEASING...

soni,s befitting reply by saudamini on 03 Dec 2008

This Italian Lady has to be send back to the Place where from she came. She even do not know the meaning of the word somebody write and give for reading. This terrorism started during the period of the great IRON LADY SMTI INDIRA GANDHI. That day on words we here the word befitting and condom, from the ugly mouth of the politicians they could not save the innocent people from the clutches of the fundamentalist. LONG FIVE YEARS was not sufficient for her UPA TO GIVE A BEFITTING REPLY. How long and how many peoples BLOOD is required her and her shameless party to give not a befitting but a simple reply to the mentors of terrorism across the border? It require sense, sensitiveness, and sensibility and over and above courage and boldness LIKE THE IRON LADY to deal with such people and ruthless country. For vote bank politics she can bark any thing in the villagers mostly uneducated.

Mood of Indians by Alakranjan on 03 Dec 2008

To all Indian politicians and "leaders":You made lots of talkings. Now start acting or perish with your countrymen. They will rather have a military rule. Does it sink in your dull head?

SONIA'S SPEECH by NAGRAJ on 03 Dec 2008

FROM THE TIME UPA CAME TO POWER IT WAS SANI FOR INDIAN PEOPLE. PLEASE GO MADAM WE INDIANS WANT TO LIVE PEACEFULLY WE THE HINDUS AND MUSLIMS AND OTHER RELIGION PEOPLE LIKE TO LIVE PECEFULLY PLEASE DONT DIVIDE THE COUNTRY FOR YOUR VOTES.

Befitting Reply by Vinod negi on 03 Dec 2008

We have been waiting for the befitting reply since the bombing started in Hyderabad and have continued till Mumbai. when will this lady stop mouthing off and take some action. The Congress considers the Muslims as a huge voting bank and will do very little to reign in terror. As long as the rich and powerful are safe in India - the middle and lower income people - all be damned. But the attacks on the Taj and Oberoi has scared them finally into some action - let's see what Sonia and her puppets do?

Reply to Terrorists by vo on 03 Dec 2008

This is the empty rhetoric that we have heard from leaders such as Soni Gandhi and Vajpayee for decades and the problem not only persists but has grown. These statements have no credibility. People are waiting to see some concrete action and results!

Terrorism by Vikram Bhatia on 03 Dec 2008

We are all waiting for Indian Government to take action and govt. is waiting for Pak Govt. to respond . What do they expect them to do catch terrorists by ears and hand over to India , they were not willing to accept their dead soldiers in Kargil and you are expecting them to confess this . We know every politician is coming out from under their cots where they were hiding and trying to mend fences with public but people are genuinenly fed up .We know these elements in Pak are not in their leader's control as well , we are not against any pakistani in general cause we have very close Pakistani friends but atleast go after militants there and world opinion will be with you.Lastly I would use the language our leaders understand "if you take action you will stay in power for next 10 years and if you dont , forget about coming to power for next ten years".Every citizen of India cried seeing grief of martyr's families on TV , can you wipe these tears?

Again the Same Story by Suryakant Goel on 03 Dec 2008

GIving list to pakistan, them saying no. and now these cowards don't know what to do, so start bs again in public.But this time, we are not going to buy these statements, we will keep poking them.

Hollow talks by T. Jayaprakash on 03 Dec 2008

'We will give a fitting reply to terrorists'.By terrorists she means only Malegaon terrorists? We have seen numerous threats issued to Pakistan about border incursions.The incursions goes on unabated.The pakistanis know that it is eunuchs who are issueing these threats. Let her sign a deal with Quotrochhi to supply some advanced surveilance equipments preferably from Bofors.Let them start a resort to house all the Islamic terrorists caught by the increased action that they promise now.

Not Right by Rajeev on 03 Dec 2008

Mrs Gandhi cannot make such statements as it was only due to her that we suffered a wimp like Shivraj Patil whose inaction saw so many deaths.

Befitting Reply to Terrorist by buster on 03 Dec 2008

I dont think Sonia Gandhi or Congress has any plans. They have chickened out. What the people need is ACTION not ACTs and Talks of we will do this.. and that... What has your demarche got you from Pakistan.. as big fat NO. Its high time armed forces stepped in and removed the terrorist camps from POK and PAKEnough is Enough .. Sonia, Manmohan, Chidambaram, Pranab, Vilasrao.. Time for action or there will be no Congress thereafter in power, post elections.. people want justice and strict action against terrorists and rogue nations which cultivate terrorists !

Befitting reply - Sonia by Ramesh on 03 Dec 2008

Honestly the leadership of congress says that neighber should not feel them weak and says befieting reply will be given . Its laughinf matter as the congress leadership is weak this is proven after the afjal guru case. This also is very clear that they cant do more than shouting in public. Since they are the people who deliberately stopped afjal guru execution whom sup. court had convicted . They rather motivating terorism by delaying it.After every strike same dilogues same concern showng and then same action . Still not giving permission for execution . If any question asked then emotion dilogues.Funny. We really need to worry withese leaders who are just interested inthemselves and are power hungry. Its shame for us, the biggest democracy in the country is crying, creeping and begging . We are ashamed of this leadership.

CHHOTA MUHN BARHI BAAT--- by romesh.sharma on 03 Dec 2008

Why the hell they are asking to hand over 20 wanted criminals knowing very well that Pakistan will never do so?If not war or attacks on terrorists' training camps in Pakistan India must take harshest possible measure to ensure Pakistan comes to knees.India must seal border and zero business concern.With the help of EU and perhaps India must get sanctions imposed on this most cruel failed rogue state.India must make it international concern that Pakistani nuclear weapons etc must be confiscated because they are sure to fall into the hands of Taliban/Alqaeda etc.India must work with aggressive diplomacy now otherwise it will further show how weak our Govt and the Nation is.This can happen only when this useless Govt,UPA is thrown out.Sonia and these political goons couldn't bring Quatarrochi and they hope to get those terrorists who are back bone of Pakistani policy and economy.Soniaji how about leaving India and enjoy rest of life in Italy or Switzerland?

SONIA by Uday Sharma on 03 Dec 2008

How much of our national resources are being used for upkeepment of Nehru/Gandhi dynesty? I am sure if even a fraction of it are used for security purpose, results will be better.

SONIA by Uday Sharma on 03 Dec 2008

I do not know if I should laugh or cry at her remarks. Half the problems facing this country are because half of our countrymen have willingly become impotent to serve her.
