Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the Congress party’s “partnership with Pakistan is exposed” while reacting to the former prime minister of the neighbouring country, Fawad Chaudhry’s “praise” of Rahul Gandhi’s speech criticising the BJP-led Central government in India.
“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 prince the Prime Minister and we already know that Congress is a fan of Pakistan. This partnership between Pakistan and Congress has now been completely exposed,” PM Modi said while addressing a public rally in Gujarat’s Anand.

Former Pakistan minister Fawad Chaudhry praised Rahul Gandhi’s recent speech attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP government before the polls.
“Our enemies want kamjor (weak) government in India, the government that was before 2014. They want government that was in power during the 26/11 Mumbai attack,” the prime minister added.
On Wednesday, BJP IT-Cell chief Amit Malviya shared the screengrab of the Pakistani leader’s post saying Congress’s “dalliance with Pakistan can’t get more obvious”.
“Ch Fawad Hussain, who served in the Imran Khan cabinet, as Minister for Information and Broadcasting, is promoting Rahul Gandhi. Is the Congress planning to contest the election in Pakistan? From a manifesto, that has imprints of the Muslim league to a ringing endorsement, from across the border, Congress’s dalliance with Pakistan can’t get more obvious,” Malviya wrote.
