'Was not jawans' morale hit when PM feasted with Sharif,' asks Cong

Congress on Friday hit back at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) asking whether the morale of the jawans was not affected when 188 were killed in terror attacks in the last 30 months and when Prime Minister Narendra Modi feasted with Nawaz Sharif.

BJP had earlier accused the opposition party of speaking the language of separatists and of playing politics over army chief Bipin Rawat's remarks that affected the morale of the jawans.

"Please tell if morale wasn't affected as 188 Jawans were martyred in 30 months in terror attacks but Modiji couldn't contain Pakistan," Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said in a series of tweets.

"Please tell if morale of our jawans wasn't affected when Modiji feasted with PM Sharif in Pakistan as jawans sacrificed for India," he tweeted. Agencies
