Assam violence unacceptable, treacherous: Sonia

August 28, 2012 13:23

This part of Sonia Gandhi's speech at the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) almost got passed over after her rant against the BJP. Condemning as "unacceptable" the ethnic violence in Assam, Sonia today said no government can ignore such "treacherous activities" and pitched for "strictest possible action" against those who targeted people from the northeast.

She termed as "unacceptable" the "painful" the targeting of people from northeast in Mumbai, Bengaluru and in other parts of the country in the wake of the Assam violence.

"The strictest possible action must be taken against those who deliberately seek to divide us, incite and provoke people by their incendiary speeches and aggressive actions," Gandhi said.
