New Delhi : Possessing not learnt at all from its previous mistakes, the opposition events led by the Congress have nevertheless once more fueled BJP’s marketing campaign blitz in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections by building irresponsible statements on Saturday’s terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district which claimed the daily life of an IAF soldier and injured 4 other folks.
“These are all stunts and not terrorist attacks. There is no fact in it. BJP is enjoying with the life of persons and bodies,” former Punjab Main Minister Charanjit Singh Channi claimed in Jalandhar on Sunday.
As his remarks – labelled as “shameful” and “disgusting” by quite a few – induced a substantial row, the Congress leader emphasised on Monday that he respects the “bravehearts” and was only chatting about “individuals who attack and orchestrate it”.
The hurt, even so, has by now been performed with the Congress now staying blamed for handing one more possibility on platter to the BJP.
“Congress has this sort of anti-countrywide leaders. They mislead the region,” stated BJP President J. P. Nadda while addressing a community rally in Telengana’s Peddapalli.
“The Congress, till day, continues to dilemma the martyrdom of our soldiers in Pulwama, even soon after Minister Fawad Chaudhry owned up the terror attack in Pakistan’s Parliament. One wonders what is Congress’ compulsion to frequently sound like a terror apologist?” questioned Amit Malviya, in-charge of BJP’s Countrywide Info and Technology Division.
Boosting another storm in the political circles, a further Congress chief – Maharashtra’s Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Vijay Wadettiwar – has been accused of levelling allegations that previous Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare was killed by a RSS-affiliated cop and not terrorist Ajmal Kasab through the 26/11 terror assaults.
Even as the BJP lodged a complaint with the Election Commission, ascertaining no matter if the Congress is supporting and propagating the “destructive narrative”, MP Shashi Tharoor on Monday backed his colleague, putting his party in even more line of fire.
Tharoor, a former External Affairs Minister in the Congress-led UPA government, was also accused by the BJP on Monday for writing an posting in a Bangladeshi publication that reportedly refers to India’s Jammu and Kashmir as “Indian administered-Kashmir”.
“I do not concur with that usage and have in no way applied this sort of a phrase in any of my writings or statements any place, ever,” Tharoor countered the declare in a write-up on X on Monday.
Severely criticising the “surprising” opinions produced by the Congress leaders on issues of national safety, gurus reckon that the social gathering leaders are committing the very same aged faults which have proved to be their nemesis above the past 10 yrs.
“These are the identical people today who doubted our armed forces’ valour through surgical strikes and demanded proof of the achievements of the (surgical) air strike. Congress regularly undermines the Indian armed forces,” Key Minister Narendra Modi instructed party personnel all through the 2024 BJP National Convention at Bharat Mandapam, previously this year.
When the PM has insisted that, with the passage of time, this sort of people who “oppose and protest” are turning out to be irrelevant, analysts emphasise that their emergence and “loose opinions” only close up placing the BJP juggernaut in a pole place forward of every election contest.
