Pak stoking communal passion: Sonia

H S Rao Oxford (U K), Nov 29 (PTI) Congress President Sonia Gandhi today
accused Pakistan of providing a "ready handle" to those who stoke
communal passion in India and said that terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir
are acting in pursuance of Islamabad's foreign policy.

It would be wrong to think that religion is their motive as "both Hindus
and Muslims have been targeted alike," Gandhi said delivering a
Commonwealth lecture on "Conflict and Coexistence In Our Age" at the
Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies.

"This is particularly so in our state of Jammu and Kashmir where it is
evident that the terrorists are acting in pursuance of the foreign
policy of our neighbour to the west," she said.

Her lecture was made a subject of controversy back home with BJP
accusing the Islamic Centre of having links with international terrorist
Osama bin Laden. The Congress party hit back at BJP demanding an apology
saying it was a prestigious centre where eminent world leaders had given
lectures.

Gandhi maintained that the fight against terrorists should be framed and
implemented on a clear understanding that terrorism is indivisible,
international and was also being pertetrated by some states as an
instrument of their policy.

In a veiled attack on the US, she said "the approach that says that the
terrorism I face is of higher priority than the terrorism you face is
illogical and has dangerous implications for global stability and
security.

"Equally grave is the cross-border flow of funds through different
channels that support terrorist organisations. This must be dealt with
comprehensibly and globally," she said.
