Sonia Gandhi's remarks come at a time a section of fringe Hindu religious leaders have hurled abuses at Mahatma Gandhi and hailed his assassin Nathuram Godse as the symbol of truth and religion.
In a veiled attack on the BJP, Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday said divisive ideologies anchored in hate and prejudice were making every effort to weaken the strong foundation of India.
In a message to Congress workers on the party's 137th Foundation Day, Mrs Gandhi said history was being falsified and detestable efforts were being made to erase the "Ganga-Jamuni" heritage of the country.
"The common citizen of the country is feeling insecure and afraid. There is reign of dictatorship in the country, bypassing democracy and constitution," the Congress president said in a video message in Hindi.
She vowed that the Congress will not remain a mute spectator and will not allow anybody to destroy the rich heritage of the country.
