Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed concern over the ostensible support for Congress's Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by a former Pakistan minister.
In an exclusive interview with news agency IANS, PM Modi said, "I don't know why only a few people are liked by those who have enmity with us, why there are only a few people in whose support voices are raised from there."
PM Modi added, "The election is of India and India's democracy is very mature, has healthy traditions and the voters of India are also not the voters who are influenced by any outside activities."
The former Pakistan minister, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, had earlier shared a video of Rahul Gandhi and praised him, and also praised Arvind Kejriwal.
Arvind Kejriwal had reacted sharply to Chaudhry Fawad Hussain's support, saying, "Chaudhry Sahib, I and the people of my country are capable of solving our own problems. We don't need your tweet. Right now, Pakistan is in a terrible state. You handle your own country."
Earlier, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain's support for Rahul Gandhi had triggered a political storm, with various BJP leaders including Union minister Rajnath Singh, ripping into the Congress.
PM Modi's comments come in the wake of the recent Delhi elections, in which the Aam Aadmi Party led by Arvind Kejriwal won a landslide victory.
