So let us know who said what on Salman Khurshid's statement.
Statement of Congress leader Salman Khurshid
Congress leader Salman Khurshid was addressing the gathering at the launch of former Union minister Mujibur Rahman's book 'Shikwa-e-Hind: The Political Future of Indian Muslims' on Tuesday during which he said that what is happening in Bangladesh can happen in India too.

Along with this, Khurshid said that everything may look normal in Kashmir. But the truth is somewhere below the surface. Bangladesh was shaken by a wave of violent anti-government protests since July, after which Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign and flee the country.
However, when his statement started facing strong opposition, the Congress leader clarified his statement saying that whatever I say, I say it publicly, never in private. But by then it was too late and BJP started criticizing Congress by making this statement of Khurshid as a basis.
Sambit Patra questioned the thinking of Congress
As the political heat increased on Salman Khurshid's statement, BJP veteran leader Sambit Patra retorted to the statement of Congress leader Salman Khurshid and said that Salman Khurshid's statement shows what kind of thinking the Congress party has. I remember when Rahul Gandhi used to stand in Parliament and say that this country will be set on fire, there will be riots, the Prime Minister will be attacked. Even during foreign trips, Rahul Gandhi used to meet many people secretly.
Along with this, Sambit Patra said that today it became clear what their intention was. This is a very serious matter. When such a situation is being seen all around in India. Does the Congress Party, which is the main opposition party of the country, want this? They are not able to win the elections, due to which they are expressing their anger by spreading such anarchy.

Tarun Chugh shows the mirror to Khurshid
After Sambit Patra, BJP's national general secretary Tarun Chugh showed the mirror to Congress and said that this statement is mocking Indian democracy. Indira Gandhi imposed emergency in the country in 1975, showing the pinnacle of dictatorship. Even now the spirit of emergency is roaming inside the Congress leaders, breaking temples in Bangladesh, killing Hindus, selectively killing opposition leaders, Congress people are applauding this? What are they happy about? This thinking itself is unfortunate.
Poonawala hits back at Khurshid's statement
On this controversial statement of Congress leader Salman Khurshid, BJP leader Shahzad Poonawala took a dig at the Congress based on Salman Khurshid's statement. Poonawala said that the Congress party says that as far as Bangladesh is concerned, it stands with the Indian government because it is not a political issue. There should be no politics on this but leaders like Salman Khurshid try to provoke the people of India by saying that the violence that happened there can happen in India too. This is another example of the Congress party doing politics on nationalism.
