BJP today took a dig at Congress leader Salman Khurshid over his alleged criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Pakistan, saying it showed the opposition's party "extreme intolerance" to Modi.
"This is an insult of the people of India. You go to a foreign country and humiliate the prime minister," BJP secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
Asked about the opposition's charge that Modi had also insulted past governments on foreign soil, Sharma said BJP welcomed criticism but the prime minister should not be "insulted".

Khurshid, a former external affairs minister, had allegedly critcised the BJP government during a recent visit to Pakistan.
