SRINAGAR, (PTK): Rahul Gandhi called Prime Minister Narendra Modi Pakistan’s “poster boy” on Thursday, pointing, among other things, to the presence of intelligence personnel in a Pakistani team put together to investigate the 2016 attack in Pathankot.
India has long accused Pakistan, especially its military and intelligence establishment, of abetting cross-border terrorism. Tensions escalated last week after New Delhi announced airstrikes targeting Jaish-e-Mohammed in Pakistan within two weeks of the suicide bombing in Pulwama.
“The prime minister has got ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] to investigate Pathankot. The prime minister is going to Mr Nawaz Sharif’s wedding [his granddaughter’s], and we are the poster boys?” Rahul Gandhi asked.
“He’s the poster boy of Pakistan, hugging Mr Nawaz Sharif, calling Mr Nawaz Sharif to his swearing-in over here, doing a big drama,” he said India Today reported.
This week Prime Minister Narendra Modi described Opposition leaders sceptical of the Indian airstrike’s results as Pakistan’s “poster boys”. (PTK)
