Pakistan PM Imran Khan hopes for PM Modi's return

India maintains that the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country and Pakistan is in illegal occupation of a part of the state's territory. Reacting to this Congress and other Opposition parties said on Wednesday that a vote for Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a vote for Pakistan.In a scathing attack, the Congress also said Pakistani premier Khan's remarks reflect that Pakistan has 'officially allied' with Modi. Congress's chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala launched a blistering attack on Modi over Khan's comments. 'Pak has officially allied with Modi! A vote for Modi is a vote for Pakistan!' Mr Surjewala tweeted. 'Modi ji, first there was love for Nawaz Sharif and now Imran Khan is your dear friend,' he added in a tweet in Hindi. The truth is out in the open, Mr Surjewala claimed. Prime Minister Modi has been accusing the Congress of being supportive of Pakistan's narrative following the Balakot air strikes. CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury lashed out at Prime Minister Modi over Khan's remarks, saying now it was known who Pakistan wants as PM. 'Pakistan has been the only issue of Modi's election campaign, where he has scurrilously tried to link it to Opposition. Now we know who Pakistan actually wants as PM, the only Indian PM to have invited ISI to a military base, and the only one who went to Pakistan uninvited,' he said. 'We have serious concerns about foreign governments influencing our democratic election proce-ss. Last year, it was reported that ISI wants Modi as PM. Now Pakistani PM says it,' Mr Yechury said. —PTI ... DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
