Why is Rahul 'silent' on his 'Muslim party' remark: BJP

A combative BJP today questioned Rahul Gandhi's "silence" over his reported remarks that the Congress is "a Muslim party", saying it has no place for Muslim women.

The BJP also hit back at the Congress for alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a "sick" mentality after he accused the opposition party of standing only for Muslim men.

Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said, The shameful allegations made by the Congress leader against the prime minister only showed their desperation."
