New
Delhi, Sept 12: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi today accused the BJP
led government at the Centre of 'destroying peace' in the Kashmir valley, thus
undoing the efforts of the previous Congress government to restore normalcy
there. Addressing students and intellectuals at University of California in
Berkley, Mr Gandhi refuted the oft propagated view by the BJP of him being a
reluctant politician. On his efforts to carry out a reorganisation in the
Congress party, Mr Gandhi said he was trying to make young people and senior
leaders work together. Accusing the BJP led government at the Centre of
destroying peace in the Kashmir valley, Mr Gandhi said ,'We worked silently for
nine years to ensure peace in Jammu and Kashmir . The UPA 2 broke the back of
terrorism. However, the BJP government destroyed it in 30 days.' Refuting the
oft propagated view of him being a 'reluctant politician', he said ,' being a
reluctant politician is a perspective from 1000 BJP followers sitting on
machines only spreading rumours about me.' On his efforts for reorganisation in
the Congress, he said,'Young people should be pushed forward. However, there is
tremendous talent in the party among seniors. I am trying to make both work
together.' Questioning the foreign policy of the NDA government, he said, 'The
UPA's design was to have relations with countries like the US, Russia and Iran.
However, the current balance is making India vulnerable.' UNI
