Who split Pak into two, tell people: Congress to Modi

New Delhi:  The Congress on Saturday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for highlighting only abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir during the assembly polls campaigning in Haryana and Maharashtra where polls are due on October 21 and asked him to tell the people who divided Pakistan into two parts.
Kapil Sibal addresses press conference “Wherever the Prime Minister goes, he remembers only (Article) 370. He (Modi) does not know when Pakistan split and who did it. It was we (Congress) who split Pakistan… where were you (Modi) then?” senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Kapil Sibal said while addressing a press conference at the party headquarters.
Sibal said Modi must inform the people of Haryana that it was because of the Congress that Pakistan’s integral part was split. “This happened under the Congress rule. Praise the Congress, but you don’t have the guts to do that,” he said.
The Congress leader asked what the BJP government under Modi has done to implement Article 47 of the Constitution, which directs the State to raise the level of nutrition and the standard of living and improve public health.
“You only remember Article 370 but you do not keep in mind your constitutional duties. Around 93 per cent children are not getting proper nutrition and your entire focus is on Article 370 and you are doing this because of the Assembly polls… You do not know about the people who are suffering,” said Sibal.
Sibal criticizes Modi, Shah Sibal also criticised Modi and Union Home Minister and BJP President Amit Shah over their remarks that Jammu and Kashmir lagged in development because of Article 370.
