New Delhi, June 18 (NationPress) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has intensified its criticism of the Congress party on Wednesday, asserting that its recent actions concerning the nation’s borders reveal its true nature and a troubling alignment with the neighboring country.
BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari urged the Congress to clarify its motives and explain why it circulated an 'altered' map of Jammu and Kashmir, which has deeply offended the sentiments of many citizens.
This controversy erupted after the Congress party allegedly posted a distorted map of Pakistan on its official X account, depicting Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) as part of its territory.
The BJP spokesperson was quick to highlight this issue, mocking the historic party. He even shared a screenshot of the contentious post from the Congress social media account, which has since been removed.
“The Congress party has once again revealed its true colors — this time by sharing an official communication that features Pakistan’s distorted map that includes Jammu & Kashmir,” wrote Pradeep Bhandari on X.
“The Congress party must respond – do they source videos from Pakistan?” he inquired.
He further indicated that this reprehensible act by the historic party is not a mere mistake but a deliberate maneuver, thereby exposing its real intentions.
“Let there be no confusion. This was not a simple error. It was a calculated action — echoing a mindset that has persisted for decades,” he added.
Claiming that Congress was acting as ‘A team of Pakistan’, he alleged that the party’s pro-Pakistan stance is not new and was evident even during its previous administrations, pointing to the annexation of PoK as an illustration of its complicity.
“The Congress party's true allegiance lies with Pakistan, demonstrating that what Jawaharlal Nehru did by gifting PoK to Pakistan was not an error but a conscious decision. The Congress is indeed A team of Pakistan!” he remarked, delivering a sharp critique of the party.
