NEW DELHI: Congress and BJP engaged in a sharp Twitter exchange with the opposition posting a photograph of former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif , held on corruption charges, with PM Narendra Modi and asking if he had anything to say.

The photograph, which is not recent, saw Congress tweet: “Nawaz Sharif has been arrested on corruption charges. We’d like to know what his dear friend, PM Modi has to say about this.”

The BJP handle responded, noting in Hindi that not just the PM but every citizen would say all those who are roaming around on bail, will have to go to jail, a reference to the status of Congress leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case.

In a recent public function in Jaipur, the PM had taken a dig at Congress and its leadership, saying the party had become a “bail-gaadi”, a play on “Belgaadi (bullock cart)”. BJP leaders tweeted pictures of Sharif with former PM Manmohan Singh .
