Modi acting like an 'advocate' of Pakistan: Cong

Congress on Monday accused Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi of acting like an "advocate" of Pakistan for his remark on evidence against Mumbai terror accused Mohammad Ajmal Amir.

"Modi's statement seems as if an advocate of Pakistan is speaking," Congress spokesman Shakeel Ahmed said here.

He said Modi's statement becomes all the more damning as it was made in a meeting of forensic experts of a dozen countries.
 
Modi had said that when evidence against Ajmal was not acceptable to India, how can Pakistan accept it (evidence).
 
"The BJP should ask Modi why he gave such an irresponsible statement...It is unfortunate if someone starts supporting those who attack India to score political points," Ahmed said.
 
Terming the issue as a "matter of great concern", Ahmed said Modi should take back his remark and express regret for saying such a thing.
