The saffron (BJP) took a dig at Pakistan over its reply to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s accusation that the neighboring country is snooping in Gujarat Assembly Polls.

With reference to the reply of Pakistan foreign ministry representative Mohammad Faisal, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad criticized the “unwarranted statement”, saying “Pakistan must stop giving us lessons”.

“Completely abhor outside interference in India's internal affairs. Pakistan's promotion of terrorism in India is well known but Pakistan must stop giving us lessons, we are proud of our democracy,” stated Prasad.

The statement by the BJP leader appears shortly after Pakistan foreign ministry talking head took to Twitter touted, “India should stop dragging Pakistan into its electoral debate and win victories on own strength rather than fabricated conspiracies, which are utterly baseless and irresponsible.”

Addressing a public meeting in Gujarat on Sunday, PM Modi had alleged that Pakistan was snooping in Gujarat Assembly polls, and sought a clarification from the Congress over its top party men who are said to have in recent times met cream of the crops from the neighboring country.

 prime minister Modi had also raised questions over the supposed appeal by former director general of the Pakistan Army, Sardar Arshad Rafiq, that senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel be nominated as chief minister of Gujarat.
