BJP MP Anurag Thakur said that "Rahul-occupied Congress" drives an anti-India campaign and defends Pakistan more than Pakistan itself. He made mentions of P Chidambaram's 'homegrown terrorist' remark and Jairam Ramesh's 'both MPs and terrorists roaming' remark. "What is the need for Congress to always stand by Pakistan?" he said, adding that the leaders should apologise for their statements.
