Senior Congress leader and MP T. Subbarami Reddy called the BJP’s questioning of Sonia Gandhi’s foreign origins as a sign of its ‘‘cowardice’’ and ‘‘frustration’’ arising from repeated defeats in past elections.

In a statement today, Reddy said: ‘‘It is the people of the country who will decide as to who will be the leader and the Prime Minister…Any interference with the voters’ right is an insult to them.’’

“The people remember the sacrifices made by Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. Sonia, who belongs to the same family, has been elected with a thumping majority in the general elections not only from Bellary but also Amethi,’’ he said. ‘‘Political parties should be conscious and judicious in attacking the leaders of other political parties,’’ he pointed out and added, ‘‘parties must contest elections on the basis of principles and the issues concerning the people.’’

‘‘It is surprising that knowingly BJP’s spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi is trying to divert the real issue of development in the country to a non-issue,’’ he stated.
