HARYANA, Oct 9 (Agencies): After Congress criticized Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's Shastra Puja in France during the handover of Rafale fighter jets, BJP on Wednesday hit back by raking up the Bofors scam and said that the grand old party is used to worshipping Bofors main accused Quattrocchi and that is why it has a problem with "Indian customs and traditions."
The BJP on its twitter handle attacked the Congress saying the party also has issues with "air force modernisation."
Moreover, Home Minister Amit Shah said the Congress should ponder over what "needs to be criticised and what not".
Addressing his first election rally here for the October 21 election for the 90-member Haryana Assembly, Shah questioned: "Is Shashtra Pujan not performed on Vijayadashami? They should ponder over what needs to be criticised and what (should) not."
