Srinagar, May 02 (KNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday dubbed the Congress party a follower of Pakistan, and that the neighbouring country was eager to make the 'shehzada' of the party the next Prime Minister of India.

Addressing a poll rally in Gujarat, PM Modi said that Pakistan is crying because Congress is dying here.

“Pakistani leaders are praying for Congress. and are eager to make 'shehzada' (referring to Rahul Gandhi) the next prime minister. This is not surprising because we already know that Congress is Pakistan's follower,” he said.

“Now, the Opposition calls for 'vote jihad'. We have so far heard about 'love jihad' and 'land Jihad'. This (vote jihad) is said by a person who belonged to an educated Muslim family, not by someone who studied in a madrasa. I hope you all know what the meaning of jihad is," he said.

He also alleged that the Congress wants to change the Constitution to give reservation of Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes (OBC) communities to Muslims. (KNS)
