A video clipping that shows Elizabeth Antony, wife of veteran Congress leader A.K. Antony, stating that she no longer harbours any political ill will towards the Bharatiya Janata Party has created a flutter in political circles.
The video, released by the Kreupasanam Marian Shrine, a Christian retreat centre under the Catholic diocese of Alappuzha in Kerala, also shows Ms. Antony attributing the sudden rise of her son Anil Antony in the national party to a divine intervention. She also credits St. Mary for the inclusion of her husband on the Congress Working Committee, besides his recovery from various ailments.
According to her, Mr. Antony could overcome his initial shock and eventually accept the entry of his son in the BJP with composure due to divine blessings.
