Rebuking Tharoor’s jibe, BJP is now seeking an apology from party President Rahul Gandhi.

What did Tharoor say?

The statement was made by Tharoor during an event in Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala. “If BJP wins 2019, it would write a new constitution, which would pave way for India to turn into a nation like Pakistan.” He further said that “then none would respect the rights of minorities”.

What does BJP want?

BJP has responded to Tharoor over his statement. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said, “Tharoor said that if BJP wins 2019 Lok Sabha polls, then country will have Hindu Pakitsan like situation, shameful.
