‘Dalali’ remarks on surgical strikes: Rahul Gandhi has insulted Army, Amit Shah says
NEW DELHI: BJP chief Amit Shah on Friday slammed Rahul Gandhi for his ‘dalali’ remarks on surgical strikes, saying the Congress vice-president crossed all limits and insulted Army and jawans by his comments.
“Is the blood of our soldiers something that you can trade,” the BJP chief asked in a press briefing on Friday. “Just want to ask Rahul Gandhi, is dalali a word to refer Indian Army and their efforts to save the country,” he added.Accusing Narendra Modi of gaining political mileage out of Army’s surgical strikes, Gandhi had said that the government was doing “dalali” (trade) over the bloodshed by Indian soldiers.
“Unki dalali kar rahe ho… Yeh bilkul ghalat hai… Hindustan ki sena ne Hindustan ka kaam kiya, aap apna kaam keejiye… (You are trading on them. This is totally wrong… The Indian Army did its job for India, you do your work),” Rahul had said in a brief but aggressive speech on Thursday.
Taking a dig at the Congress party, Shah also said that the comment from party’s vice-president clearly reflects the mindset of the Congress party.
Those who have questioned the government over the surgical strikes have not only insulted the Army but also the jawans who have lost their lives, Shah added.
Taking a potshot at Rahul Gandhi, Shah said that his understanding of farming in the country is limited to ‘aalu ki factories’ alone.
