NEW DELHI: A day before the presidential election, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi today described the electoral contest as a fight against a “narrow-minded, divisive and communal vision”.
Addressing opposition leaders in the presence of their presidential and vice presidential nominees – Meira Kumar and Gopal Krishna Gandhi respectively, she said, in these contests, the numbers may be against them but “the battle must be fought and fought hard”.
“We cannot and must not let India be hostage to those who wish to impose upon it a narrow-minded, divisive and communal vision,” she said.
According to the text of her speech, she said, “We must stand more aware than ever of who we are, what we fought for in our independence struggle and what future we want for ourselves. (AGENCIES)
