Pinarayi Vijayan Slams Amit Shah For Calling Wayanad As 'Pakistan'

Wayanad (Kerala): Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday slammed BJP President Amit Shah for calling Wayanad, from where Congress President Rahul Gandhi is contesting the Lok Sabha elections, as Pakistan. Amit Shah, while campaigning in North India, pointed out that Wayanad resembles Pakistan as he referred to the innumerable green flags of the Indian Union Muslim League, the second biggest ally of the Congress, during Gandhi's visit. Speaking at an election rally here, Pinarayi Vijayan said it was strange that Shah had no clue about Wayanad and its historical relevance. "What does he know of Wayanad? It's here that the legendary warrior king Pazhassi Raja staunchly fought the British. And without knowing history, he (Shah) relates this place with Pakistan," said a fuming Pinarayi Vijayan. (IANS)
