He also accused Congress of “not uttering a single word of sympathy for the Kishtwar riots-affected families” and called it a “puppet” which had “no courage to oppose any act of NC which is morally wrong and against the interests of minorities”. Claiming that Congress had a history of surrendering to power and pelf, Vaid said their silence on the Kitchloo re-induction was clear proof that it is hand-in-glove with the NC government. PTI
