'Pakistan-Congress partnership fully exposed': PM Modi after Fawad Chaudhry endorses Rahul Gandhi (WATCH)
By Sunita Iyer | First Published May 2, 2024, 12:22 PM ISTPM Narendra Modi on Thursday claimed that Fawad Chaudhry's public endorsement of Rahul Gandhi has fully exposed the partnership between Pakistan and Congress.
Amidst the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday delivered a fiery speech in Anand, Gujarat, casting aspersions on the purported alliance between the Indian National Congress and Pakistan. His remarks came in response to a controversial endorsement by former Pakistani Minister Fawad Chaudhry of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, stirring up a storm of controversy and igniting debates on the intricacies of political affiliations.
During an election rally in Gujarat's Anand, PM Modi underscored what he deemed a troubling coincidence: the apparent decline of Congress in India coinciding with what he described as Pakistan's distress. His rhetoric framed the endorsement as evidence of a clandestine partnership between the opposition party and India's neighboring rival.

"Look at the coincidence, today Congress is getting weak in India. The funny thing is that here Congress is dying and there Pakistan is crying. Now Pakistani leaders are praying for Congress. Pakistan is eager to make the prince the Prime Minister and we already know that Congress is a fan of Pakistan. This partnership between Pakistan and Congress has now been completely exposed," PM Modi said.
