The Congress regime, its home minister had used saffron terrorism in the parliament of the country. Due to his divisive ideology, our country was divided," Anwar said.Following Anwar's statement, Samrat Chaudhary said: "Our countrymen worship Mahatma Gandhi and not Jinnah. If anyone has sympathy with him or they want to follow the ideology of Jinnah, they have places in Pakistan. They should go to Pakistan, stay there and follow the ideology of Jinnah," Chaudhary said.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
