Speaking at the launch of a commemorative publication of the National Herald newspaper, Congress President Sonia Gandhi said India is under the threat of rising intolerance.

“Today that tried and tested idea of India has been thrown fundamentally into question by rising intolerance, by malevolent forces that tell Indians what they cannot eat, who they cannot love, what they cannot say and what thoughts they cannot hold. And all this is encouraged by a culture or vigilante violence actively supported by those who are supposed to enforce the law”, she added.
