BJP seeking to give deliberate twist to Masood sarcasm of Rahul: Cong

New Delhi, Mar 11 (UNI) Hitting back at the BJP for its attack on Congress president Rahul Gandhi on the alleged ‘Masood Azharji’ reference to the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist, the party on Monday charged the ruling party of giving a deliberate twist to Masood sarcasm of Rahul.

In a tweet, AICC media in-charge Randeep Surjewala sought to remind the BJP that it was the current national security adviser Ajit Doval who escorted and released terrorist Masood Azhar in Kandahar? And that it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who invited Pakistan's ISI to investigate Pathankot terror attack.

" Questions to BJP & select Bhakt Media,who deliberately seek to twist the ‘Masood’ sarcasm of Rahulji-: 1 Did NSA Doval not escort & release terrorist Masood Azhar in Kandahar? 2 Did Modiji not invite Pak's rogue ISI to investigate Pathankot terror attack," Mr Surjewala tweeted.

The BJP earlier on Monday attacked Rahul of the alleged 'Masoodji' reference to Masood Azhar.

"It is shameful to say the least...," Union Minister Smriti Irani told a TV channel within minutes the video of Congress president's speech went vital on social media and TV news channels.

"Desh ke 44 vir jawano ki shahdat ke liye jimmedar atanki sangathan Jaish-e-Mohammad ke sargarna ke liye Rahul Gandhi ki man mein itna samman (It appears Rahul Gandhi has lot of respect for someone who is chief of JeM and is responsible for the killing of 44 CRPF personnel)," BJP's official twitter handle said with the video of Mr Gandhi's speech.
Hitting back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for accusing the previous UPA government of being soft on terror, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday said it was the previous BJP Government which released the Pulwama attack mastermind Jaish-e-Mohammad's Chief Masood Azhar in 1999.

Addressing a Congress booth level workers conference here, Mr Gandhi said, “Jaish-e-Mohammad carried out the Pulwama attack in which 44 jawans were killed. You would remember that during their(NDA) last Govt, current National Security Advisor Ajit Doval went to Kandahar to hand over Masood Azhar. The BJP released Masood Azhar.”

“The Congress never bows before terror. We have lost two prime ministers in fighting terrorism,” the Congress president added.
