The BJP on Wednesday slammed as “anarchist” Congress leader Salman Khurshid’s remarks that a Bangladesh-like situation could happen in India as well.
At a book release function on Tuesday night, Khurshid said that though “everything may look normal on the surface”, what is happening in Bangladesh could happen in India.
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, who was also present at the event, said on Wednesday that he could not explain what Khurshid meant but the larger message that Bangladesh has given is about the importance of democracy and free and fair elections.
BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy castigated Khurshid and termed his remarks “anarchist”.
“He is also a member of the CWC, this is an anarchist statement, and I think it is a kind of sedition. It’s unfortunate that the Congress is resorting to such anarchist statements to hide its failure,” Rudy said.
