BJP leader and Member of Parliament Anurag Thakur on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing its leaders of echoing pro-Pakistan sentiments in the wake of the recent terror attack.
Speaking to the media, Thakur questioned the Congress’s stance, asking, "...Congress aur unke netaon ki kya majboori hai, ki Pakistan ke bol bolne zaruri hain? Why are they supporting Pakistan? Do they not get angry when they see the bloodshed of Indians?"
He further targeted senior Congress leader and former cabinet minister Saifuddin Soz, citing his remarks on Pakistan. "Their leader and former cabinet minister Saifuddin Soz asks us to listen to Pakistan when it says it is not involved in the attack, and to not stop the flow of water into Pakistan," Thakur said.
"Who is Congress standing with? India or Pakistan?" he asked, intensifying the political slugfest.
Thakur accused the Congress of being consistently soft on Pakistan, recalling its reaction to previous military operations. "Congress even raised questions when India carried out a surgical strike... Only a short time has passed by and Congress has already started raising questions on India and siding with Pakistan. The face of the pro-Pakistan Congress has been exposed again," he said.
He also alleged that the Congress leadership is turning a blind eye to controversial remarks made by its members. "Congress leaders are making all kinds of statements and the party leadership is not taking any kind of action against them," Thakur concluded.
