Reacting to the Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s scared of Xi jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad addressed the media after China blocked India’s bid to designate JeM Chief Masood Azhar as global terrorist in UNSC 1267 list and asked, “Would the Congress party adopt a different voice even in the case of a cruel killer & a global terrorist Masood Azhar? It was Congress which failed to blacklist Azhar.”
He asked, “Why is Rahul celebrating? It was Nehru who gifted UNSC seat to China. Nehru’s error is costing India.”
The Congress chief attacked the prime minister and said he had not spoken on China blocking the resolution in the UN Security Council. The party accused the BJP of letting Masood off the hook again and also questioned Modi what was the use of “swinging” with Xi.
Prasad’s comments was replied by Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. He tweeted
Mantri jee, your Government gave Pakistan a small victory when you postponed the Anantnag by-poll in 2017 and a big victory now that you’ve failed to conduct assembly elections. If anyone is giving Pakistan a reason to celebrate it isn’t @RahulGandhi. Look closer to home sir. https://t.co/D2Cw0S3Heo

PM Modi surrendered to China on Azhar and surrendered to Pakistan & its proxies by delaying elections in J&K. How can the BJP claim to have been tough on internal security and tough against terror? https://t.co/OoVvP9ceDJ
