The BJP slammed the Congress on Friday (October 19, 2025), alleging that the party did not take "tough actions" against Pakistan, even after the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, during its rule because of its "undying love" for the neighbouring country.

This came after Congress's overseas department chief, Sam Pitroda, pitching for a substantial improvement in India's relationship with its neighbours, reportedly said he "felt at home in Pakistan" during his visit to the country sometime in the past.
