The BJP criticized Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha, labeling him as Pakistan's poster boy, asserting that Prime Minister Modi is not sending love letters to Pakistan, unlike what Congress has done for years. This statement came after Gandhi accused Modi on social media of compromising India's reputation and questioned why he agreed to halt military hostilities against Pakistan, sacrificing national interests.
In response to Gandhi's remarks, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi commented that it seems Gandhi finally watched PM Modi's address, even if it took him ten days to do so. Joshi remarked on social media, "The Modi government is not sending love letters, as your party has been doing for years." He emphasized that they have provided the strongest response to date.
