NEW DELHI: A translation of the statement in Hindi read out by Congress President Sonia Gandhi before the media on Thursday while announcing her resignation from the Lok Sabha:

For the last two days some people in the country have been trying to create an atmosphere as if government and Parliament are being used only to favour me. It has immensely hurt me.

I have said earlier too that I have not joined politics and public life for any personal gains. I have resolved to protect the secular values of the country and the society.

That is why, upholding the ideals of public life and politics and personal belief, I resign from Lok Sabha membership.

I have full confidence that my brothers and sisters in Rae Bareli (her Lok Sabha constituency) as well as the entire country will understand my feelings.
