BJP found ‘opportunity in crisis’ post Pahalgam terror attack: Congress
In a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress on Tuesday equated his assertions akin to Bollywood dialogues on sensitive topics while stating that his policies have dented India’s foreign policy.
It also accused the BJP of ‘finding an opportunity in crisis’ that erupted post Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 that left 26 persons dead.
“The BJP has been doing low level politics right from April 22. They kept doing politics of division and their people harassed Kashmiris and minorities. All this while BJP handles on social media spread religious hatred. They did work which Jinnah, Jaish and Pakistan would have wanted,” Congress leader Pawan Khera told reporters.
He said, “While questions are being asked to the government over sensitive issues, the PM is delivering dialogues like actors Prem Chopra, Parish Rawal. The questions are being asked over Ganderbal terror attack, Pahalgam terror attack, but he is delivering dialogues from movies,” he said.
Khera also claimed that the country’s foreign policy has suffered under PM Modi.
“Kuwait has removed visa restrictions on Pakistan after 19 years. Our 21 per cent workforce lives there. It is due to US hyphenating India with Pakistan that now Kuwait sees both India and Pakistan under one realm. Pakistan and Kuwait are also signing Labour Treaty,” he said.
The Congress leader said that the country’s effort of building relationship has been “ruined” by the BJP government, particularly due to its relying on social media trolls which has sent wrong message across the globe.
