NEW DELHI: The BJP and the Congress on Wednesday engaged in a war of words after Pakistan , as a part of its propaganda effort on Kashmir, quoted Rahul Gandhi in a petition reportedly moved at the United Nations.Hitting out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his comments on Kashmir situation , the BJP said he has "insulted" the country and given Pakistan a "handle" to target India in the United Nations.Senior BJP leader and Union minister Prakash Javadekar demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi and the main opposition party, while describing the former Congress chief's remarks, in which he had spoken about reports of violence and death of people in Kashmir, as "most irresponsible politics" the country has witnessed.Rahul Gandhi's tweets on Wednesday, attacking Pakistan and asserting that Kashmir is India's internal issue, were made due to public anger over his earlier comments, he said."He has made a complete U-turn not due to his own will but due to circumstances and public pressure," Javadekar said.The Congress was quick to hit back and slammed Javadekar for attacking Rahul Gandhi.Prakash Javadekar has become a mis-information minister, said Congress leader Randeep Surjewala .Read: Full text of Shireen Mazari's letter to UN"It is tragic that Javedkar is twisting the statement made by Rahul Gandhi, which reflects Congress and all other parties are united, we are in unison, to take on the fake and false propaganda of Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir," he said."The misinformation minister of BJP government Prakash Javadekar has lost his political balance. The tragic part is the BJP and its misinformation minister are trying to politicise a stand unitedly taken for India, by Indians and in favour of the entire country in front of the world community," Surjewala added.The Congress spokesperson also attacked Pakistan and said Islamabad should answer violations on PoK.Javadekar meanwhile said the Congress leader's allegations about violence in Kashmir were wrong and added that that it was made due to the grand old party's "vote bank" politics.Rahul Gandhi has been attacking the government over the Kashmir situation and had said last week that the opposition and the press got a taste of the "draconian administration" and "brute force" unleashed on the people there when they tried to visit Srinagar.However on Wednesday, he said in a tweet Kashmir is India's internal issue and slammed Pakistan for instigating and supporting violence in Jammu and Kashmir.Taking a dig, Javadekar asked if Rahul Gandhi's mindset has also changed due to change in his constituency.The Congress leader represents Wayanad, a minority dominated seat, in Lok Sabha having lost from his traditional Amethi seat.Prodded on his comments by reporters, Javadekar said his remarks were not about the constituency but it's representative.(With inputs from PTI)
