‘BJP Mothership of Communal Strife’: Sibal on Modi’s Pakistan Jibe

The Congress leader took a dig at BJP using PM Modi’s comment about Pakistan being the “mothership of terrorism”.

At the 8th BRICS summit held in Goa, Prime Minister Narendra Modi obliquely referred to Pakistan as the "mothership" of terrorism.

In response to the comment, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal took to Twitter to take a dig at BJP, calling it the "mothership of communal fasad" (communal strife).

Without naming Pakistan, Modi said the country not only nurtures terror but also harbours a mindset which India condemns.

He urged BRICS members to step up practical cooperation against terrorism.

Some other people also tweeted on Modi’s comment.

Pakistan is "the mothership of terrorism," says PM @narendramodi at opening of #BRICS2016 this morning. That's a phrase that'll stick

Mothership of terror. Ivy League of Terrorism. Govt's scriptwriters are on a roll. One hard-hitting & apt verbal salvo after another.
