"Sonia Gandhi's address, unfortunately, smacked of a deeply self-righteous tone. She pointed out that PM Modi had paid tribute to not only Mahatma Gandhi, but also to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Subhas Chandra Bose and the women who played a significant role in the Quit India movement. "Bent upon proving that blood is thicker than water, she (Sonia Gandhi) dwelt at length only on Nehru and his stint in jail.

We can't and we won't allow sectarian forces to succeed," Gandhi said in the Lok Sabha earlier.
