29 Sep 2024
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah has accused the Congress party of allowing "Pakistan Zindabad" slogans at its events in Haryana.
Addressing a rally in Badshahpur on Sunday, he said, "I'm seeing a new trend in Haryana...slogans of 'Pakistan Zindabad' are being raised on Congress stages."
"I want to ask Rahul Gandhi that when leaders and workers of your party are raising the slogans of 'Pakistan Zindabad', why are you quiet? The Congress is blinded by appeasement," he said.
