Chennai: Union Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday slammed Congress, claiming that its leaders were speaking in different voices on Kashmir and Pakistan.
"Former external affairs minister Salman Khurshid says something, former home minister P Chidambaram says something (different), former HRD Minister Kapil Sibal says something, then Congress party says it is their personal views," he told reporters at the airport here.
"Is this the way a party which is most matured speak...in double voices that too on matters of national interest?" he asked.
Khurshid had been critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for raking up the issue of Balochistan in his Independence Day address while Chidambaram had accused Modi and his top ministerial colleagues of "exacerbating" the crisis in Jammu and Kashmir.
But later, Congress had distanced itself from the remarks.
Naidu said the central and state governments were working together to bring back normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir.
The senior BJP leader was on his way back to Delhi after a visit to Tuticorin and Tirunelveli Districts in southern Tamil Nadu to pay homage to freedom fighters from the region.
