AMETHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said he is "not too concerned" about Satyam Computer fraud in the long run as India has very 
 
deep strength in IT but wanted the "guilty 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. 



He, however, made it clear that this does not mean that unlawful activities that took place should be ignored. 



"On the other hand there has 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.
