Jaipur, Oct 26 (PTI) Youth Congress on Monday launched a ‘Digital Kalikh’ campaign against Rajasthan BJP president Madan Rathore over his controversial remarks regarding Pakistan and demanded accountability from him.
IYC national president Uday Bhanu Chib and Rajasthan Youth Congress president Abhishek Choudhary launched the digital campaign against Rathore’s remarks.
Earlier this month, during a programme in Jaipur, Rathore had said that India would stand with Pakistan if a conflict broke out between Pakistan and the United States, citing the latter’s status as a neighbouring country.
Following the controversy, Rathore clarified that his statement had been taken out of context and that he was referring to a hypothetical cricket match between the US and Pakistan, not a war.
The campaign seeks to raise questions over Rathore’s statement and demand accountability through online platforms.
The Congress’ youth wing also launched a website, ‘Muh Kala Karo’, as part of the campaign to take its protest to digital platforms and mobilise people against the BJP leader.
His remarks drew sharp criticism from Congress leaders, who accused him of supporting Pakistan.
