BJP indulging in 'zeher ki kheti': Sonia

February 01, 2014 18:03

Attacking BJP and its PM candidate Narendra Modi, Congress President Sonia Gandhi today accused them of indulging in divisive politics by "sowing seeds of poison" (zeher ki kheti) and instigating violence.

"This is an area which was the 'karmabhoomi' of Sufi saints and a symbol of composite culture of the country. I firmly believe that you will not allow those who sow the seeds of poison, who don't believe in secular credentials and who play the politics of instigating violence to succeed," the UPA Chairperson said in her address at a public rally in northern Karnataka.
