"Not Cutting Cake With Nawaz Sharif": Barb War Over Rahul Gandhi Video

Rahul Gandhi's visit to Kathmandu in Nepal for a friend's wedding triggered brickbats by BJP leaders on social media.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's visit to Nepal for a friend's wedding triggered a barrage of tweets from the BJP and its supporters on Tuesday, many of them taking shots at the politician for attending a party while being critical of the government on social media. Rahul Gandhi was at a nightclub when Mumbai was under seize. He is at a nightclub at a time when his party is exploding. He is consistent.Interestingly, soon after the Congress refused to outsource their presidency, hit jobs have begun on their Prime Ministerial candidate... pic.twitter.com/dW9t07YkzC What is wrong in it when he attends a marriage reception? Why Sanghi's are afraid about him ? Why Sanghi's are spreading lies ? Everyone of us attend private functions.

The Congress, however, hit back, saying it was not yet a crime to visit a friendly nation to attend a friend's wedding, and it was much less egregious than Prime Minister Narendra Modi making a surprise visit to former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's daughter's wedding in 2015.

"Rahul Gandhi hasn't gone to Pakistan as an uninvited guest like PM Modi to cut a cake with Nawaz Sharif, and we know what happens in Pathankot," Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said at a news briefing.

"Rahul Gandhi has gone to Nepal, a friendly country, to attend a journalist's wedding. There is nothing wrong. It's a matter of our culture. It's not a crime. Maybe PM and BJP will soon decide it's a crime to participate in weddings of friends and family members," he added.
