New Delhi: A day after Rahul Gandhi caused political tremors with his denunciation of the ordinance on lawmakers and attack on government, Congress today got into damage control mode hailing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for convincing the US on the issue of terror.
"Compliment Prime Minister for convincing US and others that LeT is a global terror threat. I hope Pakistan will take a note of that and act decisively," Congress General Secretary Digvijaya Singh commented on micro blogging site Twitter.
His comments came after US President Barack Obama promised to take up with Nawaz Sharif in a "frank" manner the issue of continued Pakistan-based terror directed against India after talks with Dr Singh.
"Rahul punctured the balloon of BJP's double speak. It (BJP) had agreed to the amendment in an all-party meeting," the Congress leader tweeted.
Mr Gandhi, who had publicly called the ordinance to protect convicted MPs and MLAs from immediate disqualification as complete nonsense, said he realised that what he felt about the ordinance was not in harmony with the Cabinet's decision and the Core Group's view.
PMO sources had said the letter was written by Mr Gandhi after his public criticism of the government on the ordinance issue in the afternoon.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi also spoke over telephone to Dr Singh, who is away in the US on a visit.
