TIL Desk/National/Gandhi Nagar(Guj)/ Hours after Congress leader asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “apologise in Jama Masjid” for the 2002 riot, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah on Sunday tore into the party, saying the matter is being raised to consolidate votes in the ongoing Gujarat Assembly election. Shah, while addressing the media here, termed the allegation levelled against the prime minister as false and baseless.
“Congress’ Charan Singh said Prime Minister Modi must go inside Jama Masjid and apologies for 2002 riots. Entire nation knows the allegations levelled on the Prime Minster by the Congress backed NGO were all false and he is faultless. Yet for vote bank consolidation, 2002 is being raised in 2017,” Shah told the media here.
Further, continuing his attack, the BJP Chief said that the Congress Party is laying foundation of Gujarat election on casteism and has been creator of polarisation in the country.He even questioned the suspended Congress leader, Mani Shankar Aiyar’s meeting with the Pakistan High Commissioner and other party leader at the former’s residence and said that, “Right before Gujarat election, without informing MEA, conducting a meeting with Pakistan envoy… don’t know what message it conveys.”
