January 29, 2014 18:34

Batting for minority rights, Congress President Sonia Gandhi today cautioned people against forces weakening the country's secular ethos and said communal harmony should not be disturbed over small, local incidents.

In her address at the inauguration of the National Waqf Development Corporation, Gandhi also sought to underline the secular credentials of the Congress party.

She expressed hope that the Communal Violence Bill would soon be tabled in Parliament, saying it is aimed at protecting social amity and the nation's secular legacy.
