Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said he was "not too concerned" about Satyam Computer fraud in the long run as India has very deep strength in Information Technology but called for strict action against the guilty that he said " should be punished."
"On the one hand, the strength that we have in IT is a very deep strength. So with a long term view ... in a long term perspective, I am not too concerned about Satyam development," Gandhi replied to a query on how concerned he was about the Satyam Computers scam.
"On the other hand there have been activities that are unlawful and they should be looked into and the guilty should be punished," Gandhi added.
Congress earlier said that the ruling UPA has made a distinction between Satyam, the company and its founder Ramalinga Raju and acted in a proactive and decisive manner to bail out the beleaguered company.
"We (the government) made a distinction between Satyam and Raju ... We acted in a decisive and proactive manner as IT is a showcase industry of the country to the world," party spokesman Manish Tewari told reporters.
The AICC had earlier also said that it favours "every step" to unearth the "massive fraud" behind the Satyam Computers terming it "a serious national issue".
