'Ghulam Kya Mange – Azadi': BJP's Kapil Mishra Takes Dig As Congress' Civil War Turns Ugly At CWC Meet

As the Congress on Monday (24 August) woke up to a kind of civil war where its senior leaders hit back after being accused of having colluded with the BJP, Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kapil Mishra couldn’t help but take a dig with a slogan that mocked the controversial slogan of ‘Hum Kya Chahte – Azadi’ (What do we want – freedom) that often resonates in Kashmir and in JNU protests.

According to party sources, Azad, senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, while speaking in the meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the highest decision-making body of the party, said, “if you prove that I am colluding with BJP, I will quit right now.”

Similarly, senior leader Sibal tweeted, “Rahul Gandhi says ‘we are colluding with BJP’. Succeeded in Rajasthan High Court defending the Congress Party. Defending party in Manipur to bring down BJP government. Last 30 years have never made a statement in favour of BJP on any issue. Yet ‘we are colluding with the BJP’!”

Mishra couldn’t let go off the opportunity to insinuate that both Azad and Sibal need “freedom” from the Congress. Interestingly, the slogan bears an uncanny resemblance to JNU protest slogans that earlier made headlines.
