TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress president Rahul Gandhi on June 21 courted controversy by tweeting pictures of the dog squad of Indian Army doing yoga and captioning it “New India”, drawing a sharp retort from BJP chief Amit Shah who accused him of mocking Yoga Day and insulting the forces.
The pictures in the tweet showed the Army dog unit and their trainers prostrating. Shah hit out at Gandhi in a tweet and said while the Congress supports the medieval practice of triple talaq, it insults the armed forces yet again. He also accused the Congress of spreading negativity.
“Congress stands for negativity. Today, their negativity was seen in their clear support to the medieval practice of Triple Talaq. Now, they mock Yoga Day and insult our forces (yet again!) Hoping the spirit of positivity will prevail. It can help overcome toughest challenges,” Shah tweeted. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said when someone keeps insulting the armed forces, then the almighty should give one some good sense.
