Kesavan said, "The Congress party, ever since Nehru's days, has been hyphenated with cowardice. Rahul Gandhi says don't be afraid, but he himself is afraid to release the contents of 51 cartons of letters written by Jawaharlal Nehru, which rightfully belong to the nation."
He mentioned about involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in 9/11 attacks, 26/11 Mumbai attacks, 2006 Bombay train bombings and said that "if terrorism is rabid dog, Pakistan is vile handler."

Tahawwur Rana, a key conspirator in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, was presented before the Patiala House Court on Friday. Due to security concerns, he was produced a day earlier than the scheduled date from NIA remand. The NIA Special Court has ordered his judicial custody until June 6, 2025.
He said that LeT and HM have a long history of orchestrating deadly attacks in India, including the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

"Pakistan may try very hard, but its reputation as the epicentre of global terrorism will not diminish," he said during an official press briefing in the national capital.
The US State Department's Hindustani spokesperson, Margaret MacLeod, hailed the extradition of Tahawwur Rana, accused in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, as a significant example of India-US cooperation against terrorism.
Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Saturday said that the extradition of 26/11 Mumbai attacks accused Tahawwur Rana to India was possible only because of the UPA Government so there is no need to give "credit" to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
