BJP Attacks Rahul after Pakistan Mentions His Kashmir Remarks In Plea To UN

Launching a blistering attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after Pakistan used his Kashmir comments in a letter to the UN, the BJP said he has "insulted and shamed" the country by giving Islamabad a "handle" to target it, eliciting a sharp retort from the Congress which accused the ruling party of indulging in "cheap politics".
As reports of Pakistan using his August 10 comments that "there are reports of violence, there are reports of people dying in Jammu and Kashmir" became public, Gandhi said he disagreed with the BJP-led government on many issues but is clear that Kashmir is India's internal issue, and violence there was "instigated and supported" by Pakistan.
The Congress also went into damage control with its chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala issuing a statement, slamming Pakistan for "mischievously" dragging Gandhi's name in its petition in the UN to justify its "lies and misinformation" on Jammu and Kashmir.
