New Delhi, Feb 20 (PTI) It was a terse letter by Congress President Sonia Gandhi that led to senior BJP leader L K Advani expressing his "deep regret" over an allegation in a report of a task force appointed by his party that she and her late husband Rajiv had accounts in Swiss banks.
In her letter to Advani written on February 15, Gandhi had said that the task force report contained "baseless and reckless allegations" and wondered how Advani could be "endorsing such scurrrillous and malicious fabrications".
