Patna, January 12: Defence Minister and NDA convener George Fernandes on Monday alleged that Congress president Sonia Gandhi had lied by saying that she secured a diploma in English from the Cambridge university.
âCambridge does not have a diploma course in English. It is an altogether different matter that she had never once visited that university," Fernandes claimed while talking to reporters here at the airport.
Stating that it was not for the first time that Sonia had lied before the nation, Fernandes claimed that the Congress president had lied when she told the President of India after the defeat of the Atal Behari Vajpayee government by one vote that she had comfortable majority which she would prove on the floor of the house when the strength of the Congress and its supporting parties fell short by nearly 30 votes in 1999.
The NDA leader said that the issue of Sonia's foreign origin was nothing new and it would always crop up.
