Rahul Gandhi: We do not act in hatred or out of envy

During the visit to his parliamentary constituency, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi met Congress workers, women in the Self Help Group exorted them to associate more people with the movement. He also faced questions on the recent killing of two Indian soldiers at the borders by the Pakistan army. Many people demanded action against Pakistan for the brutal killings.

Rahul Gandhi listened to them patiently and assured them of appropriate action. The Congress leader then attended a meeting with officials of Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust (RGCT) for nearly an hour in Amethi and next attended a meeting of the Rajiv Gandhi Mahila Vikas Pariyojna (RGMVP), RGCT’s flagship programme, in Jawahar Navodaya Vidalaya in Amethi’s Gauriganj area, where nearly 2,000 women participated.

Rahul Gandhi raised the issue of brutal killings of the jawans in the meet and asked the women for their opinion. “Some women said since Pakistan took two, now we should take 12,” a source said. Rahul told them that efforts were on to resolve the issue peacefully. “We do not act in hatred or out of envy,” Rahul replied.
