Amit Shah accuses Rahul Gandhi of driving Pakistan’s agenda in India

Lashing out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday accused Mr. Gandhi of “furthering Pakistan’s agenda” in India.

Addressing a public rally in Jalna in the Maharashtra’s arid Marathwada region, Mr. Shah also took aim at Shiv Sena-Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray, remarking that Mr. Thackeray was “sitting with those parties” (Congress and the Sharad Pawar or SP-led Nationalist Congress Party or NCP faction) who reportedly wanted to bring triple talaq back and run the country on basis of Sharia law.

“How can this country run on the basis of Muslim personal law?” Mr. Shah said, addressing the rally while campaigning for Union Minister and five-term MP Raosaheb Danve, who is the ruling Mahayuti alliance’s candidate for the Jalna Lok Sabha seat.
