'Voting for Congress means strengthening enemies and traitors'

Jammu and Kashmir Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Ravinder Raina on Wednesday said that voting for Congress would imply strengthening the enemies and traitors of the nation.

Recalling a remark by senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, which was supported by the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Raina alleged that Congress leaders are in nexus with Pakistani terrorists.

"Ghulam Nabi Azad made baseless allegations against Army operating in Kashmir and Lashkar-e-Taiba 's Hafiz Saeed applauded him. It means Congress leaders are in nexus with Pak terrorists and anti-national forces. The nation won't forgive them. Voting for Cong means strengthening enemies and traitors," the state BJP chief told ANI.
