In another tweet, “Musharraf once praised Rahul Gandhi as a gentleman. Maybe Congress likes Musharraf? From Article 370 to surgical strikes, the Congress echoed the Pakistan line, questioning Balakot. Congratulated Musharraf. But our own chief was called ‘Sadak Ka Gunda’. This is Congress!” he claimed.
