NEW DELHI: Dubbing law minister Kiren Rijiju as “distorian” for his public interventions on history of Kashmir’s accession with India, Congress on Sunday claimed that BJP’s remarks on Jawaharlal Nehru and its eulogising of late Kashmir king Hari Singh have baffled even its supporters.
Congress spokesman Jairam Ramesh tweeted, “I spoke to a BJP ideologue this morning about Kiren Rijiju, the latest entrant to the club of Distorians. He (the BJP idealogue) sent me the following message: The strange thing is, Nehru being vilified is one thing, Hari Singh being exalted as some sort of upright and benevolent hero takes the cake.” Ramesh, however, did not name the BJP ideologue he claimed to have quoted.
