Share:

 

Sharad Pawar Congress Party chief was aggressively lauded of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday for "deliberately" misconstruing the dinner program at Mani Shankar Aiyar's residency that was also attended by former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh as well former foreign minister of Pakistan called them Pakistani.

Prime Minister Modi and after them Bharti Janta Party, had connected the dinner meeting for Pakistan dignitaries and joined by former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh with the ongoing Assembly polls. The implication was that Dr Manmohan Singh had to interact with Pakistan dignitaries, a charge that Dr Manmohan Singh has described as "falsehood and canards" and demanded an apology from PM Modi and BJP party.Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has rejected the request on the apology, calling the meeting a "misadventure"."He (PM Modi) should be ashamed of accusing him (Manmohan Singh) of this," Mr Pawar, a former defence minister, said at a public meeting in Nagpur to launch protestation against the Devendra Fadnavis government in Maharashtra for its failure to handle the rural crisis.Mr Sharad Pawar, whose party had damaged its alliance with the Congress ahead of the assembly elections in Maharashtra in 2014 and was later detected to be moving closer to the BJP, has been to attack the Bharta Janta Party-led national alliance.

"All these problems are being avoided and to avoid people's agitation, they are involving Pakistan to invoke people," Mr Sharad Pawar said, accusing him of having demanded the office of the prime minister by grading baseless allegations.Sharad Pawar says that Dr Manmohan Singh, who "is the respectful and a patriot", has been defendant of using Pakistan's help to decide who will be the Chief Minister of Gujarat. "This is wrong," he said."Prime Minister Modi has marked a huge charge that Pakistan is interfering in Gujarat polls. We can understand the worries of Modi but a PM is supposed to take action and not level allegations," the Bharti Janta Partie's bitter ally from Maharashtra said, wondering why "either Pakistan or fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim" were always brought to the forefront during elections."The country expects Prime Minister Modi to work. How many times will you chant Pakistan's name?" it said.
