New Delhi, Nov 25: A war of word broke out between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress following the release of Hafiz Saeed from house detention. Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi took a dig at the Government’s diplomacy, to which the BJP called him a sympathiser of Saeed. The Congress called this remark by the saffron party ‘shameful’.
After the release of the chief of Jamat-ud-Dawah and mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, Gandhi said in a twitter post that the Prime minister’s ‘huglomacy’ failed, referring to the PM’s way of greeting world leaders. he also mentioned the recent report about US approving a bill which delinked the Haqqani Network from LeT. “Narendrabhai, बात नहीं बनी.(Things did not work out) Terror mastermind is free. President Trump just delinked Pak military funding from LeT. Hugplomacy fail. More hugs urgently needed,” he wrote.

Responding to this jibe by the Congress VP, BJP’s national spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao tweeted calling Rahul Gandhi a known sympathiser of LeT. He said, “Rahul baba, आदतें नहीं बदली हैं. (Your habits have not changed)For once, stand with the country & not with Terrorists as is your habit. You are a known sympathiser of LeT. WikiLeaks & Ishtar Jahan case cover-up exposed your links. BTW, have you congratulated your “Hafeez Saheb’s” on his release yet?”

On Saturday, Congress leader Anand Sharma said that the BJP leaders “in their arrogance” have lost their mental balance as they targeted Gandhi. “It is shameful. It deserves to be condemned. The BJP leaders have lost their mental balance in arrogance. Gandhi is the leader of Congress, which has made sacrifices in fighting terrorism and for the integrity of India…for them to say such a thing, I will say it has hit a new low,” he said.
Rao had earlier accused the Congress and its vice president of “repeatedly betraying the country by pandering to anti-India elements” and cited their alleged questioning of surgical strikes to make his point.
