'Lashkar-e-Pakistan Congress': BJP castigates Congress over its 'gayab' jibe at PM Modi
PTC News Desk: The ruling BJP government on Tuesday castigated Congress for sharing Prime Minister's headless posters with the text 'gayab' to question Prime Minister's absence. Though the Congress did not mention PM's name, it wrote in the caption: "Disappears at the time of responsibility."
The scathing attack comes at a time when as the opposition repeatedly questioning PM Modi's absence from the all-party meeting where leaders across the party lines were briefed over the Pahalgam situation.
The Congress party on its official 'X' handle shared a picture of a headless man in a yellow kurta white pyjama, and black shoes. The picture was accompanied with a text ' Missing at the time of responsibility'.
Congress flaunts a headless kurta to echo the extremist 'Sar Tan Se Juda' slogan, exposing its continuous slide into Muslim League 2.0 — divisive, desperate, and directionless.

Meanwhile BJP also did not hesitate to launch a massive retaliatery attack on the opposition and said that Congress is a Pakistan supporter.
"There is a national political party that stays among us, but if we call them Lashkar-e-Pakistan Congress, it won't be wrong. This image of PM Narendra Modi has been tweeted by the social media handle of Congress. A strong message has been given to Pakistan that in India, the supporters of Mir Jafar are present here...'Sar tan se juda' has become the ideology of Lashkar-e-Pakistan Congress today...Such posts are done on the instructions of Rahul Gandhi, which makes the country ashamed. It is an attempt of Lashkar-e-Pakistan Congress to weaken India at such a sensitive time..." BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said.
The BJP also took to its official handle to hit back at Congress and said that the post echoes the extremist 'Sar Tan Se Juda' slogan and that it exposes party's continuous slide into Muslim league 2.0- divisive, desperate and directionless.
As the poster row erupted Congress general secretary Jairam Rmesh said that the Prime Minister remained absent from the crucial all-party meeting over the Pahalgam Terror Attack. Notably Rahul Gandhi and Congress chief Mallaikarjun Kharge ahve written a letter to PM Modi demanding a special Parliament session of both the houses on the horrific Pahalgam attack.
“PM Modi was not present at the all-party meeting. We demanded on 22nd April that the all-party meeting should be held on this issue...PM Modi should participate in the discussions in Parliament and tell us what happened and how this terrorist attack took place. There is no political agenda. The Congress has only one formula- unity,” he said.
