Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Thursday flayed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for escalating tensions between India and Pakistan and held him responsible for pushing India to a war-like situation with its neighbour.

Referring to PM Modi as a “warmonger”, Singh took to his twitter handle to share his views and wrote:

"Warmonger Modi is slowly getting India in a War like situation with Pakistan. He sees this as the only option to win the next election."

In another tweet, the Congress General Secretary said: "But by doing this he is only strengthening ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) and Pakistan Army clique and weakening the Political Leadership in Pakistan."

"Can two nations armed with nuclear weapons afford a War?" he asked.

Singh's remarks come amidst a political war that erupted after the September 29 surgical strikes carried out by Indian forces across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).

The surgical strikes came in the backdrop of the September 18 terror attack on an army camp in Uri town of Jammu and Kashmir in which 19 soldiers were killed.

Singh also urged the government to push for dialogue with Pakistan.

"Please for God's sake and for the sake of our children's future Pakistan and India should stop playing war games and come to the negotiating table," he said.

 

He also said that "shouldn't India and Pakistan be fighting against hunger and malnutrition together rather than fighting each other?"
