In his comments, Chaudhry had also compared Gandhi with his great-grandfather and India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, saying “both were socialists”.For receiving endorsement from Pakistan, Gandhi has come under attack from Prime Minister Narendra Modi also, who said on Thursday that the Congress’ “partnership” with Pakistan has been “exposed” and that the neighbouring country is impatient to make Gandhi the prime minister.Asked why the BJP is finding fault with Gandhi for Chaudhry’s unsolicited comments, Singh said the Pakistani politician “praised Rahul Gandhi by saying he is on fire.If such comments come from a foreign land, it is natural to have a reaction from a political party of the BJP’s stature.Gandhi or the Congress have made no attempt to distance themselves from this unwanted praise, Singh said.”The praise came from someone who during his ministership had acknowledged that the Pakistan government had a hand in terror attacks in India,” the defence minister said.Some three-and-half years ago, Chaudhry, who was then a minister, had made a sensational admission that Pakistan was responsible for the deadly Pulwama terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir in 2019.”Humne Hindustan ko ghus ke maara (We hit India in their home). Our success in Pulwama is a success of this nation under the leadership of Imran Khan. You and us are all part of that success,” Chaudhry had said in the National Assembly during a debate.India’s warplanes pounded a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist training camp in Balakot in Pakistan in February 2019 in response to the Pulwama terror attack.The defence minister also talked about how Pakistan has been relentlessly using terrorism to destabilise India and specifically mentioned the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai and proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir.
