PM Modi meets Pope Francis. (X)
The BJP in Kerala on Sunday, 16 June, hit out at the Congress party in the state over its social media post on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with Pope Francis during the G7 Summit and alleged that its X handle was seemingly run by “radical Islamists or Urban Naxals”.
Earlier in the day, the grand-old party posted a picture of PM Modi with the Pope on its X handle along with a sarcastic comment that “Finally, the Pope got a chance to meet God!”
Irked by the post, BJP state chief K Surendran accused the grand old party’s state unit of posting derogatory and humiliating content against nationalistic leaders on its social media handle.
He alleged that AICC general secretary K C Venugopal was certainly aware of the posts and sought to know whether party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi endorsed it.
“The @INCIndia Kerala “X” handle, seemingly run by radical Islamists or Urban Naxals, continues to post derogatory and humiliating content against nationalistic leaders. Now, it has even stooped to mocking the respected Pope and the Christian community. It’s certain that the AICC General Secretary from Kerala, @kcvenugopalmp, is aware of this. The question is, what are @RahulGandhi and @kharge’s interests in supporting this?” Surendran said in his X handle.
