"Now, BJP MPs Take Two Steps Back On Seeing Me," Says Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi, Jul 26: Congress President Rahul Gandhi today took a swipe at the BJP over his hugging Prime Minister Narendra Modi in parliament, saying now the party's MPs take "two steps back" on seeing him fearing he may embrace them too.

Mr Gandhi, who was severely criticised by the BJP leaders for hugging PM Modi during his speech on the no-confidence motion against the government last week, said he may have a difference of opinion with the ruling party leaders and he can fight them, but he doesn't need to hate them.

"You can fight someone with all your might, but hate is a choice... And I think that is something that is very important to understand. I may disagree with Mr (L K) Advani, I may have a completely different conception of the country from that of Mr Advani. And I can fight Mr Advani on every single inch, but I don't need to hate him," Mr Gandhi said at a book launch where the senior BJP leader and former deputy prime minister was also present.

The Congress chief further said that he can hug L K Advani and also fight him.

"It is very interesting how this works, because now whenever I come across BJP MPs, they take two steps back... we have to be careful he is going to hug us," Mr Gandhi said amid peals of laughter.

After a no-holds barred and scathing criticism of PM Modi on several issues including the Rafale jet deal, Mr Gandhi had walked across the well of Lok Sabha to Modi and hugged him. The gesture had taken PM Modi as well as the treasury benches by surprise.

Good Approach... Many indians who follow cheddi rules are not aware of such appreciation (Love for all) which need to b addressed to BJP and its affiliated groups and their followers. God loves when we rid HATRED from our HEART which BJP will never teach to its followers... Devils love hatred and BJP is indirectly and unknowingly supporting it by spreading Hatred which is making our society filled with hatred... Recognize and learn who is the TRUE GOD and U will know how Hatred connects the devils....

Dubai, Jan 8: Iranian state television said on Wednesday that at least 80 "American terrorists" were killed in attacks involving 15 missiles Tehran launched on US targets in Iraq, adding that none of the missiles were intercepted.

State TV, citing a senior Revolutionary Guards source, also said Iran had 100 other targets in the region in its sights if Washington took any retaliatory measures. It also said US helicopters and military equipment were "severely damaged".

Iran launched missile attacks on US-led forces in Iraq in the early hours of Wednesday in retaliation for the US drone strike on an Iranian commander whose killing has raised fears of a wider war in the Middle East.
