No one is above the country, but Modi calls himself great: Sonia
"The country is not the property of a few but belongs to all of us," the Congress leader asserted.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi has supported a petition for scrapping of tax on sanitary napkins and recalled that during previous UPA government she had called for providing napkins free to BPL families.
"I am extremely happy to know that you have taken up this case that I fully support. You would be interested to know that during the tenure of our UPA government I had again and again requested both Ghulam Nabi Azad, the then Health Minister, and Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit to provide sanitary napkins for free at least to BPL families," Gandhi said in a letter to party leader Sushmita Dev, who is now spearheading the petition.
The Congress President also said, "I would like to reiterate my whole-hearted support to your initiative in this regard."
