Ridiculing BJP's "soft on terror" charges, Sonia Gandhi today attacked the saffron party, saying while Congress "effectively and firmly" countered terrorism, the erstwhile BJP-led government "treated terrorists like guests".

While addressing an election rally for Salman Khursheed, she said "during Congress rule terrorism was countered effectively and firmly, whereas during BJP regime terrorists were treated like guests and released in their own country."

"The entire country knows that Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi laid down their lives for the nation's sake," she said as quoted by PTI, adding the party handled the terror issue "with an iron fist".

The Congress President asked BJP to stop "preaching on terrorism and instead introspect its own failures, PTI reports.
