Youth Congress National President Uday Bhanu Chib referred to Pakistan’s founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah as "Jinnah Ji", sparking a political row. Reacting to the remarks, BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said, “Congress once again stands with those who are doing the ‘tukde tukde’ of this country.” Chib later apologised for the remarks, calling it “a slip of the tongue”.
