BJP distances itself from Giriraj Singh's Pakistan remark

BJP sources said party president Rajnath Singh has sent a message to Giriraj Singh and asked him to refrain from making such comments.

Giriraj Singh, addressing an election rally in Deogarh, Jharkhand, had said: "Jo log Narendra Modi ko rokna chahte hain, woh Pakistan dekh rahein hai. Aane wale dinon mein in logon ke liye jagah Hindustan mein nahi, Jharkhand mein nahi, balki Pakistan mein hoga (Those opposing Narendra Modi are looking at Pakistan, and such people will have no place in India but in Pakistan)."
