Dinesh Kamath's Editorial 'Congress adopts tit-for-tat policy' that was published in Newsband


Congress adopts tit-for-tat policy
The Congress accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using anti-Pakistan rhetoric merely to drum up support for his politics domestically. They were citing an unpublicised letter from Modi to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Pakistan’s National Day.
Meanwhile, BJP president Amit Shah continued his attack on the Congress over Pitroda’s comments. He asserted that Pitroda’s statement appeared to convey the impression that the Pulwama attack was a “routine” incident carried out by a few people for which Pakistan could not be blamed. The BJP chief asked Gandhi to make his party’s stand clear on the issue.
Congress’ Mani Shankar Iyer and Sidhhu are working overtime to embrace Pakistan Army/ISI/Jamad islami and asking the help from terrorist country to defeat PM Modi at any cost is well known. No need for lessons from Congress. If Modi did not send greetings (that too low profile), Congress would have twisted this as missed opportunity. Either way it’s just Modi hating than Indian welfare at mind of Congress
It is not a love letter and what is shown is not love.  It is a strategy of playing hot and cold. That is carrying out surgical strikes and a little latter writing comforting letters. This would make the neighbour befuddled as to how to behave with us, whether as an enemy or friend? This would make them to not treat us as a hard enemy.
Sidhu is called anti-national by BJP for hugging and getting Kartarpur deal. Congress has gone to such a low level that the party considers even customary greetings as political issue for campaigning. Congress and its leaders should try to avoid blame game and to impress the people by their action plan which will benefit the people.
This party has been issuing statements questioning the veracity of the version put out by the Indian Air Force and generally supporting the Pakistani views. The other day when the Foreign Minister of Pakistan went to China for talks he quoted these very same statements and claimed that a large sections of Indians themselves are now questioning the Indian government's policies. Emissaries of Congress party visits Pakistan for consultations on a regular basis. Mani Shankar Ayyer visited Pakistan and sought their help to win Gujarat elections. Only the other day Rahul Gandhi's guru Pitroda made some atrocious anti-national statements, which are now being debated by the media. And now this comment coming from the party is too much to digest.
Wen BJP was not in power, they made these comments about "love letters to Pakistan" by then PM Manmohan Singh. When BJP is in power, Congress is doing exactly the same. There is a saying in the South 'If your friend jumps into the well, you need not necessarily do it too.  Just because BJP did this when they were in the opposition, it is an opportunity to the Congress to show their maturity by saying 'You said this when you were in the opposition but we are not going to repeat it because we want peace in the region or whatever they want to say'. Remember, if they come to power they will be negotiating for Peace. It is of no use shouting all the unpalatable words. It would be better to expose and declare what your approach will be. Ultimately we will be deciding who is who and what we should do.
A country’s PM has to maintain certain international obligations/decorums and can’t be made election issues. Modi is a person but at the same time he is our PM and has to take decisions regarding foreign affairs and country’s security needs. His love and commitments for our motherland and fellow Indians are beyond any doubt and suspicion.
