New Delhi: The ruling BJP Sunday hit out at the Congress for seeking a probe into the alleged Pakistani "terror boat" incident and said its questioning the matter showed the opposition party had touched a "new low" in politics.

"A new low in Indian politics has been touched, and who has been responsible for this? It's the Congress, the principal opposition party of India. It has touched a new abysmal low as far as politics is concerned," Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Sambit Patra told reporters here.
