Linking Pak to Gujarat polls 'incredible': Shatrughan Sinha jibes at Modi

New Delhi: Known for criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha on Monday once again sparked a controversy for targeting the PM over his allegations of Pakistan’s interference in Gujarat polls.

At a rally on Sunday, Modi raised questions about an alleged appeal by former director general (DG) of the Pakistan Army, Sardar Arshad Rafiq, that Congress leader Ahmed Patel be made the chief minister of Gujarat.

"Pakistan Army's former DG is interfering in Gujarat's election, on the other, Pakistani people are holding a meeting at Mani Shankar Aiyar's house. After that meeting, people of Gujarat, backward communities, poor people and Modi were insulted. Don't you think such events raise doubts?" Modi said at a rally in Palanpur.

In tweets on Monday, Sinha said, “Hon'ble Sir! Just to win elections anyhow, and that too at the fag end of the process, is it a must to come up with & endorse new, unsubstantiated & unbelievable stories everyday against political opponents?"

Though Sinha did not take any names in his tweet, it was beyond doubt that the veteran actor's target was the Prime Minister, as he has never held back from critiquing his own party, even in public.

The Congress also rubbished the allegations, saying there were no discussions on domestic politics in the meeting in Mani Shankar Aiyar's house, which was also attended by former prime minister Manmohan Singh.
