Kaptaan saab, Sonia Gandhi has to be seen being tough against Pakistan since there is a perception in the country that Congress (who is in power both in center and state) is toothless when comes to dealing with terrorist. But these are rhetorics and you should be worried more about what Pranab or Antony or Chidambaram says than Mrs. Gandhi as she only suggest the policies but is not directly involved in running the govt.
Well, whether she is doing it to save their reputation or some other reason but do you not agree that she is using it for election campaigns? I would think this should be of the concern for people like Seminole who accused Pakistanis of being insensitive towards the victims of Mumbai mayhem.
