Quotes[edit]
- [India cannot] “jump on an entire nation” (Pakistan) just because some people from there came and did something.”
- About the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Quoted from Indian Express, Rahul Gandhi’s negative campaign didn’t work: Senior Congress leaders on eve of CWC [1]
- Attack happened in Mumbai also. We could have then reacted and just sent our planes. But that is not the correct approach. Eight people (26/11 terrorists) come and do something, you don’t jump on the entire nation (Pakistan). Naive to assume that just because some people came here and attacked, every citizen of that nation is to be blamed. [2]
- OK 1984 happened, so what?
- About the 1985 Anti Sikh riots. Tavleen Singh : "(Rahul Gandhi's) current Guru Number 1, Sam Pitroda, added to Congress problems by making one of the most thoughtless, offensive remarks I have ever heard. Accosted by TV reporters last week and asked about the 1984 pogrom against the Sikhs, he said..."

- We have survived 75 years in a very happy environment where people could live together, leaving aside few fights here and there. We could hold a country together as diverse as India, where people on east look like Chinese, people on West look like Arab, people on North look like white and maybe people on South look like Africans.
