Watch: Congress workers vandalise BJP Ajmer office over Madan Rathore's Pak remark

On Saturday, Congress workers staged a violent protest outside the BJP office in Ajmer, Rajasthan. They pasted posters, smeared walls with black ink, wrote slogans and burnt the party leader's posters. The Youth Congress raised flags and yelled anti-BJP slogans. The incident followed a dispute over BJP state president Madan Rathore's remarks that he would support Pakistan if it played against the US, citing their shared border.

Congress coordinator Mohit Malhotra accused Rathore of supporting the neighboring nation. He declared, "If Madan Rathore supports Pakistan, he should go to Pakistan." The controversy started on Thursday when Rathore addressed a seminar marking the birth anniversary of former President APJ Abdul Kalam. He stated that he would back Pakistan if it were to play against the US, arguing that Pakistan is India's neighbor. The BJP responded by accusing the Congress of anti-national sentiments.
