Is Cong forming 'International Mahagathbandhan' with Pak against PM Modi, asks Amit Shah

Shah drew a comparison between Pakistan and Rahul Gandhi saying that both are framing baseless allegations against PM Modi.

New Delhi: BJP Chief Amit Shah on Saturday launched an attack at Congress president Rahul Gandhi over his tweet on Rafale deal, quizzing whether Congress had formed a ‘Mahagathbandhan’ with Pakistan. He clubbed Pakistan and Rahul Gandhi together saying that both are framing baseless allegations against Indian Prime Minister Modi. Shah’s reaction came after Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhary used Rahul Gandhi’s tweets to claim that dropping off the talks between Sushma Swaraj and Shah Mehmood Qureshi had a political motive of diverting people’s attention. Shah wrote with a hashtag NaPakNaCongress: “Rahul Gandhi says ‘Modi Hatao’, Pakistan says ‘Modi Hatao’. Now Pakistan also supports Rahul Gandhi’s baseless allegations against PM Modi. Is Congress forming an International Mahagathbandhan against PM Modi?” Fawad Hussain Chaudhry had shared Rahul Gandhi’s tweets and wrote: “These tweets explain BJP led Tirade against Pakistan, Apni Jang Khud Lado #RafaelDeal.” He alleged that India dropped the talks at the foreign minister level because PM Modi is ensnared in the ‘Rafale Scandal’. ‘The Indian Prime Minister is trying to befool the public in order to divert people’s attention from the scandal’, he said. In a sharp reaction to Shah’s tweet Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala asked did BJP form an alliance with Pakistan and ISI when PM Modi went “uninvited to Pakistan”. He tweeted: “Amit Shahji, Faced with charges of rampant corruption & crony capitalism, pseudo-nationalism is your old ploy. Did you and PM form a Mahagathbandhan with Pak and ISI when Modiji went uninvited to Pakistan and Pathankot Attack happened; and when you invited the rogue ISI to Pathankot and praised Pakistan?” In another tweet he wrote: “Congress doesn’t need certificates from traitors of freedom movement. Please brush up your knowledge - Congress taught befitting lessons to Pak in 1947, 1965 & 1971. You only invoke Pak when answerless on issues of corruption.” India on Friday called off the talks between Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj and her Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi  that were  proposed to take place at the sidelines of UNGA in New York. India cited “brutal" killing of three policemen in Jammu and Kashmir as well as the release of the postal stamps "glorifying" Kashmiri militant Burhan Wani, for dropping off the talks.
