An epic embarrassment: Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar makes election pitch in Pakistan to bring his party back, slamming Modi!

Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar yet again embarrassed India and this time in Pakistan as he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be removed to resolve issues between New Delhi and Islamabad.

Reportedly, Aiyar made this comment to a Pakistani TV anchor, leaving Congress red faced.

"Hamein le aaiye, inhein hataiye (Bring in the Congress, remove him)," Aiyar reportedly said when asked about how his party, the Congress, suggests the dispute over Kashmir be resolved.

Aiyar's comments come days after Paris attacks, when he had said, “the anti-Islam phobia that is being carried out in the western countries should be stopped immediately. The Muslims living in France should be provided with the assurance that they are also citizens of the country.
We should also think that why this situation has raised?"

However, the Congress party had distanced itself from the comments on Paris attacks.

"We do not want to associate with Mani Shankar Aiyar. He should make statements after careful consideration. In no way, you can justify... It was an inhuman action in which so many people have been killed," Maken had said.

This is not the first time when Aiyar has slammed Modi. During 2014 general elections, Aiyar had taken potshots at Modi saying, “I promise you that in the 21st century, Narendra Modi will never become the Prime Minister of the country... But if he wants to distribute tea here, we will find a place for him.”
