Sonia's Chintan: Remaining in power not sole focus

January 18, 2013 14:42

Addressing the meet on the first day, Sonia says inclusive growth is not a political ploy. "We have to balance development and social harmony, which are really two sides of the same coin. We must balance alliances and policies," said Sonia reading from prepared notes.

Addressing the younger leaders she says the brazen display of wealth is a cause for worry. "Avoid ostentation. The display of wealth by younger leaders is a worrying trend and makes me think, 'where is this wealth coming from'."

That statement was greeted with much applause.

She also said rampant sexual harassment was disturbing.

Addressing the LoC killings, she said Pakistan must be civilized. "Good relations bring peace," she said.
