New Delhi [India], April 29 : BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia on Tuesday strongly condemned Congress for its controversial post, calling it "extremely sad and worrisome." Bhatia also accused the party of revealing its "two faces" and transforming into a "Lashkar-e-Pakistan Congress."
Speaking to ANI, BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia said, "It is extremely sad and worrisome that even though Congress is an Indian political party, it constantly reveals its two faces and transforms into Lashkar-e-Pakistan Congress... Congress has tweeted a headless image of PM Narendra Modi, at a time when the Prime Minister has given a strong message to Pakistan... 'Sar tan se juda' has been the ideology of Congress. Releasing such a picture of the Prime Minister, Congress has given a message to Pakistan... They say they are supporting the Indian government and then release images like this... Pakistanis greatly appreciate this tweet of Congress... Why don't the leaders of Congress speak about this tweet..."
He criticised Congress for posting the image at a time when the Prime Minister had sent a strong message to Pakistan, and questioned why Congress leaders were not speaking out against the post.
The Congress party on Monday posted an image on X showing only clothes with no body, accompanied by the caption, 'Jimmedariyo ke samay-Gayab' (At the time of responsibility-Vanished).
Also, BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla on Tuesday slammed the Congress party over a controversial headless image posted by the Congress, calling it part of the "same culture" shared by Congress and Pakistan.
Speaking to ANI, Shehzad Poonawalla said, "It's clear now that the Congress party has become like Pakistan's PPP. Both speak the same language and share the same work culture. Just as Pakistan distanced itself from its government, terrorists, and people, Congress is now promoting the same mentality. Congress leaders like Siddaramaiah and Akhilesh Yadav have made statements that are being widely shared in Pakistani media. Congress no longer just clears Pakistan's name, but also deflects blame onto Hindus, as seen in the Pahalgam incident. Congress, like Pakistan, has a similar mindset towards the Prime Minister. Their repeated insults and threats towards PM Modi are now being applauded by Pakistan."
Poonawalla mentioned that the Congress party is promoting this same mentality, citing statements from leaders such as Siddaramaiah and Akhilesh Yadav, which are being widely used in the Pakistani media. He also criticised Congress for giving a clean chit to Pakistan, similar to their stance after the Pulwama and 26/11 attacks.
