Modi lashes out at RaGa, calls Congress 'mureed' of Pakistan

• PM Modi accuses Rahul Gandhi of having cozy relations with Pakistan, calls him Pakistan's 'mureed' (follower)
• PM asserts "Pakistan wants to make 'shehzada' of Congress India's prime minister"
• Controversy errupted after former Pakistan minister Chaudhry Fawad Hussain shared a video featuring Rahul Gandhi

In a scathing address at an election rally in Gujarat's Anand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a direct jab at Rahul Gandhi, insinuating a cozy relationship between the Congress leader and Pakistan. Modi's remarks come in the wake of former Pakistani minister Chaudhry Fawad Hussain's praise for Gandhi, suggesting Pakistani leaders' desire to see him as India's prime minister.

"Congress is dying here and Pakistanis are crying… Pakistani leaders want to make 'shehzada' of Congress India's prime minister," asserted Modi, hinting at Pakistan's purported endorsement of Gandhi's leadership.

Further, Modi accused the Congress of being a "mureed" (follower) of Pakistan. 

“Look at the coincidence, today the Congress is getting weak in India... Now, Pakistani leaders are praying for the Congress. Pakistan is eager to make the prince the prime minister and we already know that the Congress is a fan of Pakistan. This partnership between Pakistan and Congress has now been completely exposed,” Modi stated.

This row started when Chaudhry Fawad Hussain had shared a video featuring Rahul Gandhi, where the Congress leader is targetting the Bharatiya Janata Party and PM Modi over the invitees at Ram Mandir's Pran Pratishtha ceremony.
