NEW DELHI: Congress president Rahul Gandhi Friday courted controversy by tweeting pictures of the dog squad of Indian Army doing yoga and captioning it "New India", drawing a sharp retort from BJP chief Amit Shah who accused him of mocking Yoga Day and insulting the forces.The pictures in the tweet showed the Army dog unit and their trainers prostrating.Shah hit out at Gandhi in a tweet and said while the Congress supports the medieval practice of triple talaq, it insults the armed forces yet again. He also accused the Congress of spreading negativity."Congress stands for negativity. Today, their negativity was seen in their clear support to the medieval practice of Triple Talaq. Now, they mock Yoga Day and insult our forces (yet again!) Hoping the spirit of positivity will prevail. It can help overcome toughest challenges," Shah tweeted.Defence minister Rajnath also criticised Congress president."With due respect to you, Rahul Gandhi Ji, these are proud members of the Indian Army and they contribute to the safety of our nation. When someone repeatedly insults our Army, then we pray that good sense prevails upon him," the defence minister tweeted.The BJP said that for Gandhi, life is only about a joke, as he keeps posting pictures about his pet dog.It also said while a new India is emerging under Prime Minister Modi, a new Congress is coming up under Gandhi."Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi there is a new india, and Gandhi's tweet reveals a new Congress under him."Perhaps for him, life is one continuing joke for him and looking for opportunities to post pictures that remind him of his favourite Pidi (his pet dog)," said BJP spokesperson Nalin Kohli.Gandhi was also trolled on Twitter, with a number of people posting pictures about the Congress while poking fun at him and the party.Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, actor and BJP MP Paresh Rawal tweeted, "Yes it's a NEW INDIA Rahul ji where even dogs are smarter than you."BJP MP from Bengaluru South Lok Sabha Constituency Tejasvi Surya said the Congress leader's tweet has insulted the army."Ok. He still hasn't learnt his lessons. In one go, he has insulted our army, brave Jawans, the incredible dog unit, Yoga tradition & our country. I feel really sad for all the young Congress workers (if there are any left) that they have to deal with this man as their leader," Surya tweeted.
