Amid the war of words, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday attacked the Congress party over the row triggered by Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Narender surrender’ jibe. The BJP in its attack released a video featuring former Congress Prime Ministers and the silence over several instances in the past that showed the failure of the grand old party.
Releasing a video featuring Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Manmohan Singh, the BJP on X wrote, “Congress Ka Surrender Wala Itihaas (The surrendering history of Congress).”
The BJP in the video mentioned the silence of Jawaharlal Nehru in 1947 in front of Muslim League that resulted in the division of the country into India and Pakistan; in 1948 when the Nehru took the Kashmir conflict to the United Nations Security Council; in 1960 by giving water to Pakistan under Indus Water Treaty; and in 1962 during Indo-China conflict.
The video further highlighted Indira Gandhi’s 1971 loss of Chhamb sector to Pakistan in the Indo-Pakistan war and slammed Manmohan Singh’s silence over 26/11 attack.
BJP Vs Congress
The BJP’s attack came in response to the Congress’s attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after a row triggered by Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Narender surrender’ jibe. The jibe came in the form of a social media post featuring US President Donald Trump’s iconic red ‘Make America Great Again’ cap, with the words ‘Narender Surrender’ – a pointed reference to Rahul Gandhi’s allegation that PM Modi agreed to a ceasefire with Pakistan following a call from Trump.
Rahul Gandhi earlier when he was in Bhopal claimed that the PM Modi had succumbed to pressure from the United States.
“Trump made one gesture from there (the US), picked up the call and said ‘Modiji, what are you doing? ‘Narender surrender’. And Modiji said ‘yes sir’ and followed Trump’s instructions,” Gandhi said.
