The return of the two Italian marines to India has been a diplomatic victory for India and Congress president Sonia Gandhi should get her share of praise for contributing to it.
She may be congratulated for her firm stand against Italy. She slammed Italy for its refusal to send back the two marines charged in the fishermen killing case and said "betrayal of a commitment to our Supreme Court is outright unacceptable". This statement should silence her detractors who accuse her of being biased towards her native country.
The Congress leaders in the country had been doubtful about Sonia's stand against Italy. However, Sonia cleared the mist and issued a strong unwavering statement, making it clear that she was as patriotic towards India as any other native.
