Tom Vadakan said he was “deeply hurt” when his party of 20 years “questioned the integrity of the armed forces”.
“I left Congress party because when Pakistani terrorists attacked our land, my party’s reaction to it was sad, it hurt me deeply. If a political party takes such a position that is against the country, then I’m left with no option but to leave the party. Mr Vadakkan, who was welcomed into the BJP by union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, said that the Congress’s “reaction to the attack carried out by Pakistan-based terrorists was sad”. he said.
