BJP chief Amit Shah, Delhi CM Kejriwal and NCP condemn Gandhi’s ‘Khoon ki dalali’ remark; he insists he supports military but denounces propaganda
New Delhi: Political temperature soared yesterday over Rahul Gandhi’s ‘dalali’ remarks, with BJP chief Amit Shah launching a blistering attack on him, saying he “crossed all limits” and “insulted” the army’s valour, as the Congress leader insisted he supported the military action but denounced “political propaganda” on the issue.
The Congress vice president also came in for criticism from Arvind Kejriwal, who himself is facing flak over his remarks on the army’s surgical strikes across the LoC. NCP too disapproved of Gandhi’s remarks about the Modi government “profiteering” from the blood spilt by the soldiers.

On the backfoot after his barb, apparently aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress vice president said he “unequivocally” backed the army action. Even as Shah insisted that the strikes should not be politicised, he made it clear that BJP will go to people over the issue to “boost the army’s morale” and that the military assault underlined the Modi government’s zero tolerance policy against terrorism.
