Belagavi (Karnataka), Dec 26 (IANS) Karnataka BJP has slammed Congress over the display of posters depicting a distorted map of India at the venue of the centenary celebrations of the INC’s 1924 session in Belagavi, saying that it shows utter disrespect for India’s sovereignty and is shameful.
Taking to social media handle X on Thursday, the BJP said, “Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) has been handed over to Pakistan by the Indian National Congress – Karnataka! It is truly an act of treason that Congress members have distorted India’s map in the name of Gandhi Bharat. The banners displayed in Belagavi stand as proof that Congress is “ready” to engage in any vile act for personal gain and appeasement politics. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, please immediately remove these controversial banners and take action against the traitors who distorted the map of India.”
“The Karnataka Congress has shown utter disrespect for India’s sovereignty by displaying a distorted map at their Belagavi event, portraying Kashmir as part of Pakistan. All this just to appease their vote bank. This is shameful,” the BJP said.
The Congress party is celebrating the centenary event of Mahatma Gandhi taking over as the Congress President in a session held at Belagavi in 1924 to launch the Independence struggle. The grand old party is geared up for mega celebrations scheduled to be held on December 26 and 27.
