‘Congress’ Italian culture, can't understand India': Amit Shah's fresh jibe after Kharge's Article 370 remarks on J&K
Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah on April 6 took a jibe at the Congress, saying the opposition party does not understand India due to “its mostly Italian culture", as per an ANI report. The “Italian culture" jibe is likely a reference to Sonia Gandhi's roots and came following Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge's remarks on Article 370. In a post on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Shah called Kharge's remarks “shameful" and attached a clip of him speaking.
“It is shameful to hear that the Congress party is asking, ‘Kashmir se kya waasta hai?’ I would like to remind the Congress party that J&K is an integral part of India, and every state and citizen has the right over J&K, just as the people of J&K have the right over the rest of India," Shah wrote. “The Congress doesn’t know that many brave sons of Rajasthan have sacrificed their lives for peace and security in Kashmir. But it is not merely the fault of the Congress leaders.
It is mostly the Italian culture of the Congress party that is to blame for not understanding the very idea of India. Such statements hurt every patriotic citizen who cares for the unity and integrity of the nation. People will certainly answer Congress," he added.
He also clarified that the Modi government abrogated Article 370 and not Article 371, which is what Kharge erroneously mentioned. “… it is only expected of Congress to make such horrendous mistakes. Such blunders made by it have haunted our nation for decades now," he added.
