"Distressing that people at home are calculating political allegiances" : Congress leader Salman Khurshid

New Delhi [India], June 2 (ANI): Congress leader Salman Khurshid, on Monday, expressed concern over political divisions amid India's efforts to address terrorism through the multi-party delegation visits to various countries, of which he is a part. He said that while India communicates its stance on terrorism globally, some at home focus on political allegiances instead of unity.

When on mission against terrorism, to carry India’s message to the world, it’s distressing that people at home are calculating political allegiances. Is it so difficult to be patriotic?

"The message we come with. It is a message of unity. We are from several parties. We are from several regions of India. We are from several religions of India. But if you want to see how, when it comes to the nation and your motherland, how you come together and how you combine, how you speak in a single voice is what we are here to show. Which is which is something that we by commitment and deep in our hearts we feel very strongly, which is why we are here together to present this picture to you," he said.
