NEW DELHI: Union minister Smriti Irani hit out at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi for criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the attack on Amarnath pilgrims and politicizing the issue at a time when the country was "united against terrorism". Irani then reminded him that the Kashmir issue was the legacy of the Nehru-Gandhi family. Congress leader Mani Shanker Aiyar went to Pakistan and sought help to remove Narendra Modi and his government so that the Congress can come back to power. Is that the strategy for Rahul Gandhi's personal gain or is that political strategy?" "Everybody in country knows that very soon Mr Gandhi will be off to another holiday, this is just a stopgap arrangement (sic).
