Shiv Sena to PM Modi: ‘No one who hobnobs with Pak stays in power for long’

“Vajpayee, in a bid to mend strained relations between both countries started the ‘Lahore bus’ service and also went out of his way to meet General (Pervez) Musharraf in Agra. After that, never did a BJP government come to power under the leadership of Vajpayee,” it said.

The editorial further questioned the BJP’s jubilation over the visit and said that people were questioning how the party would have reacted if a Congress prime minister had made a similar visit. “If a Congress PM had dropped into Karachi or Lahore would the BJP have celebrated the visit the same way that it is doing now, this is the question that many Indians are asking now,” the editorial said.

The party, speaking further about the visit which had gained huge praise for Modi, claimed that all it wanted was to ensure Modi did not face betrayal. “Who would not want peace to be ushered in because of Modi-Sharif meeting? We only pray that Modi does not suffer a betrayal the way Vajpayee did,” the edit added.
