New Delhi, October 25

President of the BJP JP Nadda today slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for criticising the abrogation of Article 370, asking whether he represented India or Pakistan.

Alleging that the Opposition had become directionless and was opposing the country in its antagonism towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Nadda said Congress leaders opposing the abrogation of Article 370 were indirectly supporting Pakistan. “At a time when the entire country was celebrating the abrogation of Article 370, Rahul Gandhi contended that injustice was done to the people in Srinagar,” the BJP president said while addressing party workers in Rajasthan.

The Congress and Rahul Gandhi, who is under attack from the BJP for criticising the abrogation of Article 370, is also being accused by the BJP of forming a “radical syndicate” along with the Jamaat-e-Islami and the Popular Front of India (PFI) and supporting extremism in the country.
