Expressing her concern over rising intolerance, Sonia Gandhi had at a function in here yesterday vowed to fight the "diabolical design" of divisive forces to spread hatred, which posed a threat to the unity of the country.
"Organisations and people of a particular ideology are spreading it to divide people. We are under no illusion that it is an accident.

We are ready to fight the battle," she had said.
