Congress slams invitation to Sharif

PTI Updated - March 12, 2018 at 05:05 PM.

The Congress today attacked the BJP over sending an invitation to Pakistan premier Nawaz Sharif for the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi, reminding the party of its earlier remarks that terror and talks cannot go hand in hand.

Congress leader Manish Tewari said the BJP should not forget that Manmohan Singh had come under attack for carrying forward the process of normalising relations with the neighbour initiated by former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

The Congress leader’s remark came against the backdrop of SAARC heads of State and Government being invited to Modi’s swearing-in on May 26.
