Attacking the Prime Minister, Rahul Gandhi said yesterday, "Humare jawan hain jinho ne khoon diya hai, jinho ne surgical strike kiya, unke khoon ke peeche aap (PM) chhupe huye ho," Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has hit out at Congress Vice-President for accusing Prime Minister Modi of using soldiers for political benefit. Kejriwal said words like ‘dalali’ is derogatory and painful and should not have been used by Gandhi. “I strongly condemn what Rahul Gandhi said about our jawans, this is a matter in which we all need to stand united,” said Kejriwal. “Such words (dalali) should not have been used by Rahul Gandhi,” he added. Incidentally, Mr. Kejriwal had sparked a controversy after he urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “expose” Pakistan’s propaganda on surgical strikes. BJP had said the AAP chief’s comments amounted to seeking proof and were an insult to the army. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy also criticised Rahul Gandhi for attacking the Prime Minister.
