"Pak has officially allied with Modi! A vote for Modi is a vote for Pakistan!" Surjewala tweeted.
The Congress on Wednesday cited a media report to claim that Pakistan had "officially allied" with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding a vote for him would mean a vote for the neighbouring country.
The report quoted Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan saying he believed there might be a better chance of peace talks with India and settling the Kashmir issue if Modi's party BJP won the general election. Khan said other parties would be afraid of right-wing backlash in case of a settlement on the Kashmir issue.
"Pak has officially allied with Modi! A vote for Modi is a vote for Pakistan!" Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala tweeted.
"Modi ji, first there was love for Nawaz Sharif and now Imran Khan is your dear friend," he added in a tweet in Hindi.
The truth is out in the open, Surjewala claimed.
Senior National Conference Omar Abdullah also tweeted to show disapproval at Imran Khan's support.
Abdullah said, "Just imagine what all the “Chowkidar” handles would be doing to @RahulGandhi & the Congress right now if Imran Khan had endorsed RG as PM in these elections? Who is the “tukde tukde” gang now?"
Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti said the entire turn of events had left the Bhakts confused.
She tweeted: "Bhakts scratching their heads & at wit ends wondering if they should praise Imran Khan or not."
