Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh responsible for Imran Khan's attack on India at UNGA: BJP

[MenInG]

he Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday demanded an apology from the Congress for "helping Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan in maligning India's image" at his United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) speech on Friday.

While addressing the UN general assembly, Imran Khan quoted the Congress to peddle his anti-India rhetoric during his speech, putting the party in a tough spot. Launching an attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Imran Khan said, "The previous Congress home minister gave a statement that in RSS camps, terrorists are being trained."

Attacking the Congress over Imran Khan's remarks at the UNGA, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra demanded an apology from former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi, former party president Rahul Gandhi and Sushilkumar Shinde for "helping" Imran Khan in attacking India at the international forum.

Notably, Sushilkumar Shinde had served as the home minister in the Manmohan Singh government.

Sambit Patra said, "I am very much hurt about the speech wherein Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan at UNGA said that it is Congress party's home minister who has publicly shared about terrorist camps in India and we all know who that Congress home minister was."

Sambit Patra demanded an apology from senior Congress leader Sushilkumar Shinde for his "false statement against Hindus, against RSS and against the BJP" which, the BJP leader said, the Congress leader had made in 2013 in Jaipur.

The BJP leader continued that big leaders of the UPA were present on the dais when Sushilkumar Shinde was giving his speech.

He said, "So, all of the leaders like Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi who were there and did not object to Sushilkumar Shinde's statements are responsible for helping PM Imran Khan in his attempt to malign India's image at the UNGA in New York."

Targeting NCP chief Sharad Pawar without taking his name, Sambit Patra said that the long form of ED is Enforcement Directorate and not "Event Management Company so someone should not make an event out of ED's work or any action taken by the agency".

[IAJ]

Lol, some chest-thumping indians here were bagatellizing Imran’s speech, but look how hurt their ruling party is..

 

[IMMY69]

Dear oh dear.

Must be scary to be anti BJP/RSS and living in India.

 

[Mueez]

Oh dear they have acknowledged they have taken a beating at UNGA.

 

[Iqbal'sh]

BJP seem to be minutely dissecting IKs speech yet parosis will have us believe nothing of importance happened at the UN last week

 

[DRsohail]

looks like I was right, many have been agitated.

 

[Professor]

Sambit Patra said, "I am very much hurt about the speech wherein Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan at UNGA said that it is Congress party's home minister who has publicly shared about terrorist camps in India and we all know who that Congress home minister was."

Wait I am a bit confused, Indian posters here said that Imran Khan is irrelevant and his speech meant nothing to India. So why is a official spokesperson person of the ruling party saying he is hurt by the speech? Considering Patra is an official spokesperson of BJP, its clear that the speech got to them and they were effected by it

 

[Bewal Express]

This is weird, a speech we are told has had no impact is being blamed on the opposition, I am really confused.

 

[Rana]

The impact of the speech.

 

[Extra_Cover]

The aftermaths of speech are starting to surface now.

 

[ahsan17]

This is weird, a speech we are told has had no impact is being blamed on the opposition, I am really confused.

They always say things like that to make themselves feel better.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Alot in the western world hav very little knowledge of kashmir struggle, world leaders do but the common man doesnt know.

Eventually people will start to research just how heavy handed the indians govt has been in kashmir in the last 70 years.

 

[Waseem]

Wow these BJP goons are so delusional, they blame Pakistan for all the unrest in Kashmir despite initiating all the steps to create troubles in Kashmir and now Sonia is to be blamed for something whole world has acknowledged.

Also, Indians have taken every possible step to isolate Pakistan and spoke with venom at every possible forum even when Pakistan were making repeated peace efforts. They even took Pakistan's gesture post Pulwama as sign of weakness. They have never kept it a secret that they want to teach Pakistan a lesson let it be sports (BCCI's dirty tactics for years), FATF, world forums etc but just ONE assault from Imran Khan is enough for them to act like victims who have been threatened, cornered & humiliated

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

So BJP has confessed that they got hurt by Imran's speech? Why don't they criticise Modi for not giving a reply to Imran Khan himself?

 

[Hornbill]

Elections in two states are coming up within in four weeks expect more statements like this

 

[pillionrider]

When will the BJP stop crying and show more confidence in their actions.

Typical of their fanbase too.

We are proud of this and that about our country. Yet we will run at the first opportunity to any country that will take us.

I am a proud NRI but there's no chance in hell I'm returning to my beloved motherland.

Basically lies are built into their system. Who cares about Pakistan but all we can do is to talk of Pakistan all day long.

[MENTION=76058]cricketjoshila[/MENTION]

I know disappearing is a force of habit for you but c'mon this is a clear indication that BJP was indeed rattled by Imran's words, no matter how much you deny it. Waiting for another gem of a response from you.

Can you tell me when did i disappear?

Bjp has just taken a political advantage of IKs speech. They are telling people that Congress is helping pakistan. With 2 state elections in 45 days, one being in maharashtra, such a narrative will cost the congress.

Lol at rattled. Bjp are master politicians.

This is being done for Maha assembly elections. Painting the congress as pakistani supporters.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

All my communal brethren are in a meltdown. Kudos to Imran Targaryen for causing the immense heartburn and exposing the terrorist RSS to the world. Secular Indians can't thank you enough, Sir! How much I wish for you to be the PM of India as well!!

 

[Bewal Express]

This is being done for Maha assembly elections. Painting the congress as pakistani supporters.

From that its obvious that the BJP believe that Kaptaan has set the cat amongst pigeons and they need someone to blame for their humiliation.

Oh you have no idea. Everywhere in India you hear Imran, Imran, and Imran! He has set my country on fire without dropping any bombs..

 

[Bewal Express]

I wouldnt be surprised that the Ind SC overturn the fascists govts revocation of the article and the consequent hostage taking of 8mn and declare it null and void.

 

[cricketjoshila]

No rather, they are painting that Congress is a supporter of Imran Khan and hence voting for congress will bring a pak friendly govt in power.

What humiliation? Are there any takers of these lies of Pakistan?

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Even after all the humiliation, the bhakats are still supporting Modi. Congrats to Modi for maintaining such a loyal fan base

 

[Sir-fraz]

No rather, they are painting that Congress is a supporter of Imran Khan and hence voting for congress will bring a pak friendly govt in power.

would you not want peace with your neighbor? why would you want to bring a war hungry government in power? it makes more sense economically to be trading partners rather then warring nations.

bjp is just playing with the people for their own gain and hunger for power.

If they were lies then the Inds wouldnt be blaming each other. RSS/BJP caught with their chaddis down!

 

[MP2011]

Chaddis just can't get over their fetish of blaming it all on Congress. As per them, India didn't exist before '14.

As for this Patra creature, he is a known nutcase, which is a good enough qualification for being appointed BJP's spokesperson. Anyone having even an iota of knowledge of Indian politics knows how delusional and hopeless this creature is, like most of his ilk in chaddi gang.

 

[Romali_rotti]

I see, so its congrats Pakistan :

Serious question. Feel free to ignore if you don't feel like answering.

Does it not bother you that the BJP go to any lengths mixing fact with a lot of fiction when it comes to smearing the opposition or anyone who opposes them.

 

[pillionrider]

[MENTION=76058]cricketjoshila[/MENTION] I also forgot to mention the other day in the context of DK's arrest that quite a lot of people here feel it has to do also with the by-elections (suspended MLAs).

 

[cricketjoshila]

would you not want peace with your neighbor? why would you want to bring a war hungry government in power? it makes more sense economically to be trading partners rather then warring nations.

bjp is just playing with the people for their own gain and hunger for power.

Because pakistan has never adhered to any of the agreements on kashmir.

Modi went to lahore to start a peace process and got stabbed like Vajpayee.

Because your PM openly supports a separatist terrorist movement in India and calls them freedom fighters.

Because there have been no terrorist attacks in any major Indian city in Modi years and whatever terror attacks have taken place are in J and K.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Serious question. Feel free to ignore if you don't feel like answering.

Did the congress do anything else? They opposed Vajpayee as communal. You can youtube the 1996 speech of vajpayee in loksabha. Listen to it.

The Hindu terror bogey was raised by congress to deflect from Mumbai attacks.

Thing is congress post Indira is hinduphobic, too much into appeasement and too friendly with pakistan.

 

[cricketjoshila]

If they were lies then the Inds wouldnt be blaming each other. RSS/BJP caught with their chaddis down!

They are lies.Hardly anyone in the world is taking it.

Bjp is saying that Pakistan is being supported by congress in peddling lies. This narrative paints a picture that congress is pakistan friendly.

Its a political ploy to get votes.

[cricketjoshila]

Its a political fight. When Modi went to Lahore Congress said similar things.

 

[Hornbill]

BJP is certainly trying to Portray Congress as an anti India party.Right now it's the worst time to be a congress leader if they don't say anything they will loose the funding and traditional support from Islamic organisations and If they say some thing they will be labelled as anti India. Congress is paying the price for not functioning as a true secular party.

LOL.

I feel like you have talking points typed under different code names and you just copy and past it. lol

Try to update them because no one is buying them anymore unless you are RSS supporter.

 

[IMMY69]

By my count, it took approximately 14 hours for our RSS members to pipe up with their Election excuse.

Bhopal: In controversial remarks, senior BJP leader Gopal Bhargava on Monday sought to portray the October 21 bypoll in Madhya Pradesh's Jhabua assembly seat as a "fight between Pakistan and India" and not just a contest between the ruling Congress and the opposition BJP.

Bhargava asked the electorate in Jhabua to vote for BJP candidate Bhanu Bhuria as he "represents India" and said his rival Congress nominee "represents Pakistan". Seeking support for the BJP in tribal-dominated Jhabua, the Leader of the Opposition in the assembly told a public gathering, I with faith can say the country's respect is at stake right now. "It is not a fight between two parties. This is an election between India and Pakistan."

Patting on shoulder of Bhanu Bhuria, who was by his side on the dais, Bhargava said, Our brother Bhanu represents Hindustan and Kantilal Bhuria (the Congress candidate) represents Pakistan.

Looking at the people assembled at the gathering in the Ragwada chowk area of Jhabua, the former minister said, "Raise your hands whether you are with Hindustan or Pakistan." To this, some in the audience responded by shouting "Bharat Mata Ki Jai".

"Make the BJP win or a message will go from here that Pakistan supporting governments...Congress is now a days supporting Pakistan on all issues. "If the Pakistan government supporters representative wins, and if Hindustani man — who is Bharatiya (Indian), who is tribal and works hard in villages gets defeated, friends this will amount to Indias and your defeat, Bhargava added.

In a related development, Congress candidate Kantilal Bhuria (68), a former Union Minister, and Bhanu Bhuria (36), a political greenhorn, on Monday filed their nomination papers for the assembly seat reserved for tribals. The by-election was necessitated after BJP's G S Damor had resigned as the Jhabua MLA after winning the Lok Sabha election from the Ratlam-Jhabua seat earlier this year.

I was a kid and watched it live on TV with my Dad and it had a big impact on me.

I don't see what is 'being too friendly with Pakistan'. Why can't they consider giving IK a chance to see if he's serious about even 50% of what he says.

Agree with appeasement being a huge issue. There is a reason why people like Yeddyurappa came up in Karnataka and why the BJP rules the coastal belts. But things have gone the other extreme now. Cutting down on appeasement is not the same as making minorities insecure and fearful. It's not a healthy society to live in. And what (believer) Hindus don't seem to get is, with these kind of people in power, you're happy today, but might fall into a category that's their next target tomorrow.

I don't see any good intent in Modi-Shah. They're sociopaths with a lust for power and nothing else.

Patra is an intellectual heavyweight for the Hindutva gang, that's their standard. WhatsApp University dean which is like the equivalent of Harvard President for BJP followers. He was BJP's LS MP candidate from the holy city of Puri, thank God the Odias had some sense.

 

[Swashbuckler]

To PPers who might not have heard of the legendary Patra, here are some clips. No subs but even I understood it with my rudimentary knowledge of Hindi, shouldn't be a problem for Pakistanis.

If you watched that speech than you must know what was the opposition ploy.

Give Imran a chance? Take risk of another Mumbai? This game has been going on for decades, except Indira Gandhi and now Modi to a certain extent, rest all fell in that peace talks trap and our national security went for a toss.

Can yoy tell me a country where majority religion is treated like how hinduism has been in India? Its astonishing that with 80% hindus in India,hindus cant practice their religion freely. Given a choice, why will i choose a party that is into appeasement? Bjp has totally changed the game. It has managed to corner votes among Hindus and Shias. It has also cornered christian votes in north east. So saying they are threatening minorities is not totally right.

The main issue is between islamists and muslim elites who have long been pandered by the politicians and the RW Hindus who see Islamists as a threat to Hindus.

At the end of the day a balance has to be struck. You cannot hurt the interests of 80% of the population and then expect things to be smooth.

The country needs total secularism,where laws are applied across every religion and the laws are same for everyone.

 

[ReverseHit]

Internal political one-upmanship. Nothing to see here. Move on.

 

[PakLFC]

Indian people here telling us that IK's speech has made no difference. From what I am seeing India has been crying about it doing endless programmes since our PM mocked and verbally attacked them.

I think what they may be suggesting is that it has made no difference on the ground. Article 370 still lies in the trash can, and the curfew is being gradually lifted as the government/administration sees fit. Do any actions of the Indian government feel forced to you, as a result of Imran Khan's speech?

Don't go by Indian media - they will make sensational stories on even kaali daal

Of course IK's speech has made no difference in reality which is why I am supporting those in AJK to cross the LOC. Nothing is being lifted at all, it is simply a reaction of Indian media to fool the world after IK's comments at the UN. The only effect IK's speech has had is India pretending the curfew has been eased.

These things don't change overnight. One speech doesn't cause a 180 degree flip overnight. It's little by little, and it can take years. India built a narrative against Pakistan over couple of decades, and it had some success (but even that success is starting to wear off recently, although that's another discussion). I can see many US media and progressive social media now mention Modi as a hindu nationalist and talk about Kashmir issue. This wasn't happening before.

Media? They have slated Arab nations for decades, has that change anything? They have criticised Trump,he still became President. And so on.

Being hindu and being a nationalist is nothing wrong. Just like the American presidents who take oath on the bible.

Manmohan Singh was possibly the worst PM India ever had. I absolutely hated him for his behaviour post 26/11.
