Reacting to the demise of ex-Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla tweeted, "Musharraf [was the] architect of Kargil [War]...accused of heinous crimes." "Musharraf considered Taliban & Osama bin Laden as...'heroes'...He's being hailed by Congress," added Poonawalla. "Musharraf...[once] hailed Rahul Gandhi as a gentleman, perhaps that endears Congress," he stated.
