NEW DELHI: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Monday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence on the contentious Rafale fighter jets deal and the allegations of monetary irregularities towards BJP leader Amit Shah's son Jay Shah.
Keeping up his attack towards the ruling BJP ahead of the prime stakes Gujarat assembly polls, Rahul took to Twitter to ruminate why the Prime Minister chose to remain mum on these two arguable issues that experience sparked a confrontation between the federal government and the opposition.
"A frown on his face, sweat on his forehead
Saheb appears to be scared
Why are his lips sealed when questions are raised on Shahzada and Rafale," Rahul tweeted on Monday evening.
The Gandhi scion's prickly observation follows a fierce fusillade aimed at the Congress via PM Modi all the way through a bunch of rallies in poll-bound Gujarat, alleging that the celebration "celebrated" the release of Pakistani terrorist and 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed. The Prime Minister additionally slammed Rahul for embracing the Chinese ambassador all the way through the nerve-racking Doklam standoff and questioning the veracity of the Army's surgical strike on terror bases in Pakistan closing year.
"You are happy to hug Chinese ambassador, you are clapping on the release of Hafiz Saeed, you cannot respect Indian Army's surgical strike. But why did you speak up about it? You could have just remained silent," PM Modi mentioned at a marketing campaign rally in Bhuj, Gujarat.
The Prime Minister's accusations sparked an outcry from the Congress, which asked Modi to not politicise the issue of terrorism and reminded him that many of its leaders have sacrified their lifves in preventing terrorism.
"The BJP might see politics in terrorism, but I would like to tell my BJP friends and PM Modi that the history of the Congress is full of martyrdom in fighting terrorism and thousands and lakhs of Congressmen have sacrificed their lives for India," Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala advised PTI.
