Is Cong fighting polls in India or Pak? asks Amit Shah on doubts over boat issue

January 06, 2015 18:33

Hitting out at Congress for raising doubts over the Pakistani boat incident, BJP President Amit Shah on Tuesday asked the opposition party whether it was fighting elections in India or Pakistan.

On his maiden visit to Odisha, Shah said it should be the 'duty' of the Congress to boost the morale of the defence personnel instead of finding faults with NDA government's determined efforts to curb terror.

"I will like to ask the Congress from where (do) they fight elections? In India or Pakistan ?' Shah asked while addressing BJP's 'Mahasangram' rally in the state.

Congress has raised doubts over government's version of Pakistani boat incident near Porbandar last week and asked it to "come clean' and explain "which terrorist organisation' was behind the episode that unfolded on the high seas.

The Congress stand triggered a war of words with the BJP which accused the opposition party of touching a "new low' and doing politics over terror.
