Congress sulking after Masood Azhar declared terrorist: PM Modi

Describing UN decision as a third strike against Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Congress was "sulking" over the development, as it took place during BJP tenure. He also alleged that the Congress party also has issues with Narendra Modi getting awards and recognition from different countries of the world.

Hindaun (Rajasthan):Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday attacked the Congress saying it was sulking over and questioning JeM chief Masood Azhar's designation as a global terrorist by the United Nation (UN) becuase the development took place during his government's tenure.

He described the UN decision as a third strike against Pakistan.

"A few days back Masood Azhar was branded as an international terrorist. Congress has questioned the timing of the declaration (by the UN). Was this decision taken by the BJP or by my Cabinet? Should the UN have asked Congress before the declaration? Should they have asked Madam ji (an apparent reference to Sonia Gandhi)," Modi said at an election rally here.

"Congress is sulking because they think how the Chaiwala can do what they could not do then?," he said.

Congress, while welcoming the UN decision, had expressed disappointment that the listing resolution does not mention Pulwama terror attack and Jammu and Kashmir while recounting Azhar's role in terror activities.
