Pitroda has kick-started Cong's celebration of Pak's national day: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday used Congress leader Sam Pitroda's comments, questioning the government's aggressive action against Pakistan post-Pulwama terror attack, to tear into the Opposition, saying the remarks only reflect that Congress was unwilling to respond to forces of terror.

Leading the BJP charge, Modi said Pitroda, Congress president Rahul Gandhi's "most trusted advisor and guide", has kick-started the Pakistan National Day celebrations on behalf of his party, "ironically by demeaning India's armed forces".

Pakistan celebrates its 'National Day' on March 23.

Taking on the Congress while reacting to Pitroda's remarks, Modi posted a series of tweets using the hashtag 'Janta Maaf Nahi Karegi' (people will not forgive), and said, "Loyal courtier of Congress' royal dynasty admits what the nation already knew- Congress was unwilling to respond to forces of terror. This is a New India- we will answer terrorists in a language they understand and with interest!"
Latching onto Pitroda's comments, Shah tweeted, "Difference between the Opposition and BJP is clear. They suspect our army, we are proud of our army. Their heart beats for terrorists, ours beats for the Tiranga. This election, through the power of your vote, do a surgical strike on the Congress culture."
