Shameful, says Sonia

LUCKNOW, OCT. 15. The Congress president, Ms. Sonia Gandhi, today termed as ``shameful'' the reinduction of Mr. George Fernandes into the Union Cabinet as Defence Minister.

``Handing over the security of the country to a person, who had to put in his papers because of corruption charges, is a matter of shame,'' she said addressing a Congress ``parivartan rally'' here.

Without naming anyone, Ms. Gandhi said ``it is a shameful act on the part of those who reinducted a tainted person into the Union Cabinet.''
