Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.

New Delhi: Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Friday, launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh saying, the grand old party will not buckle under any form of injustice.

Speaking ahead of Congress' 'Save democracy' rally in the national capital, Sonia took pot shots at BJP and RSS saying, the grand old party knows how to fight the anti-national elements.

In an apparent reference to Jawaharlal Nehru University row and Rohith Vemula suicide case, the Congress president said, Students are being harassed, and these days anybody is being labelled as an-anti-national.

“While accusing the BJP of murdering democracy, Sonia alleged Congress-led governments in Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh were dislodged by Modi regime by use of money power.

“Congress will not buckle under any form of injustice and will take detractors head on,” the Congress top leader exhorted.

Former prime minister Manmohan Singh said, “Congress is like a flowing river, no matter how many false allegations are levelled, it will not divert from its path.”
