Pakistan Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s remarks against PM Narendra Modi have triggered a massive political and diplomatic row. While India’s diplomatic machinery has already responded to Pakistan over Bhutto’s remarks against PM Narendra Modi, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has now questioned the silence of Congress and its role as the principal opposition party in the country. In a tweet, the BJP cited an old video of PM Narendra Modi, then the chief minister of Gujarat slamming then Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif over his remarks against Manmohan Singh, then then Indian prime minister

“Today, Congress party chose to remain silent on Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s remarks about PM Narendra Modi.When Former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif called our then PM Manmohan Singh ‘Dehati Aurat’, PM Modi had shown full solidarity with UPA govt & slammed him. That’s the difference!!” Gandhi said.

BJP leader and IT department in-charge Amit Malviya also slammed drew a parallel between Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Rahul Gandhi and said that there is a ‘is striking similarity between Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Rahul Gandhi. Both are entitled dynasts’.

“There is striking similarity between Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Rahul Gandhi. Both are entitled dynasts, churlish and petulant, speak the same language, use similar words and idioms to target PM Modi. What binds them? Perhaps their hatred for India, that is growing in stature,” he said

What did Bilawal Bhutto say about PM Narendra Modi?

Speaking at the United Nations, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who is the Pakistan Foreign Minister under the Shehbaz Sharif government said – “(I want to tell India) that Osama bin Laden is dead, but the butcher of Gujarat lives and he is the Prime Minister of India.” His rather frustrated remark came after India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar tore into Pakistan and said that India’s neighbour was the ‘epicentre’ of terrorism in the world.
