New Delhi: Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi
congratulated Barak Obama for his second term as UIS President. “India and the
US would work together not just for bilateral ties but for the larger good of
humanity in the times to come", she said to Obama in her congratulatory
message.
"Please accept my heartiest congratulations and best
wishes as you commence your second innings as president," Ms Gandhi said
in her letter to Mr Obama on Wednesday. "I firmly believe that in the
times to come, India and the United States, being two largest democracies of
the world, will work together not only in the bilateral context but also for
the larger good of the humanity," Ms Gandhi said in the letter, which was
released to the media on Thursday. Recalling her meeting with Mr Obama in
November 2010, when he addressed the Indian Parliament, Ms Gandhi said it
provided her an opportunity to discuss a wide range of issues with the US
president.
"The results of this year's historic election are a
re-affirmation of the faith American people have in your (Obama's) leadership,
in the backdrop of the challenging global economic environment," she said.
"The people of India have a special admiration for you. Your inspiring
address to the Indian parliament, where you invoked the philosophy of Mahatma
Gandhi, resonated across the political spectrum in our country." Ms Gandhi
said Mr Obama had "steered the nation through a difficult period even as
the leaders across the world were grappling to meaningfully address the fallout
of the crisis" adding "You also played a crucial role in bringing
together leaders from across the world to shape a collective response to the
crisis under the G-20 framework."
