After Modi accuses Pakistan and Congress of collusion, Islamabad says 'don't drag us into your domestic politics'

NEW DELHI: A day after PM Narendra Modi accused the Congress of colluding with Pakistan to defeat the BJP in the Gujarat polls, Islamabad hit back and asked not to be dragged into domestic electoral battles.

Islamabad further said that Modi's allegations - of a recent "secret three-hour meeting" attended by Congress and Pakistani officials - are "fabricated



conspiracies, which are utterly baseless and irresponsible".

 

Without furnishing proof, Modi yesterday claimed a meeting took place recently in (now suspended) Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar's house that was attended by Pakistan's high commissioner, its former foreign minister, former PM Manmohan Singh, and former Vice-President Hamid Ansari.
