All India Congress Committee(AICC) General Secretary Digvijaya Singh on Saturday called for an "aggressive campaign" in international arena to isolate Pakistan globally on terrorism.
Speaking to presspersons here after his meeting with Congress workers, Mr. Singh took pot-shots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said his belligerence as Chief Minister of Gujarat on the Pakistan issue and constant barbs aimed at then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, had evaporated after he became Prime Minister.
Mr. Singh who is in-charge of Congress affairs in Goa is on a visit take stock of the party's organisational situation ahead of early 2017 State Assembly elections.
“The U.N. is discussing the issue of terrorism in New York. We have to identify and bring concrete proof of the involvement of Pakistan establishment in the terror activities. The Congress party never compromises with people who are terrorists or are involved in terror," he said and went on to blame the NDA government for releasing Jaish-e Mohammad chief Azhar Masood in the hijacking case of Indian airlines in in 1999.
Criticising the Modi government's foreign policy, Mr Singh said old diplomatic allies like Russia were now making overtures to Pakistan. “Even Russia, who was our consistent friend, is unfortunately holding military exercises with Pakistan which has never happened before. This is an area of concern which the BJP should be looking at,” he said.
