After attacking previous Congress governments for their inaction against terrorism, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday (2 May) attacked Rahul Gandhi for getting support from Pakistan.
Addressing a public rally in Gujarat's Anand, Modi said, "Look at the coincidence, today Congress is getting weak in India. The funny thing is that here Congress is dying and there Pakistan is crying."
"Now Pakistani leaders are praying for Congress. Pakistan is eager to make the shehzada the PM and we already know that Congress is a fan of Pakistan," Modi said referring to Fawad Chaudhry's remarks.
Chaudhry is former Pakistan Minister and sharing some video clips of Rahul Gandhi's speech, he posted yesterday on X, "Rahul on fire."
While speaking in Sabarkantha yesterday, Modi had said, "New India does not send dossiers on terrorists to other countries but gives a dose to them."
He attacked Congress by saying that when 10 years ago, the country was suffering from terrorism, "Congress, despite knowing the origin of terrorism, used to send a dossier to Pakistan.”
"Today, India doesn't send dossiers to the masters of terrorism, but gives them a dose and kills them on their home turf," Modi added referring to surgical strike and Balakot air strikes.
Modi also raised the issue of Salman Khurshid's niece Maria Alam Khan appealing for "vote jihad" and said, "INDI Alliance is saying that all Muslims should get together and vote."
"On one hand, the INDI Alliance is trying to divide SC, ST, OBC and general categories, on the other hand, they are raising the slogan of Vote Jihad. This shows how dangerous their intentions are," Modi added.
