Rahul Gandhi, son of Sonia Gandhi and president of the Indian National Congress (INC) , in a conversation with Timothy J. Roemer, then U.S. Ambassador to India, said that he believes Hindu extremists pose a greater threat to his country than Muslim militants. Gandhi referred specifically to more-polarizing figures in the INC's main political rival, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Also responding to the ambassador's query about the activities in the region by the Islamist militant organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Gandhi said there was evidence of some support for the group among certain elements in India's indigenous Muslim population.
