Hugplomacy began from there. #BJPLovesTerrorists’
She also posted pictures of current National security Advisor Ajit Doval handing over Masood Azhar at Kandahar. ‘But this is just one of the many love signs displayed by BJP for Hafeez Saeed, Masood Azhar and ilk. These pics of India’s NSA with Masood Azhar, the nation will never forget,’ Chaturvedi said.

Surjewala also tweeted a statement by Doval in which he saluted the real Nationalistic Policy of Cong-UPA to tackle terror.
‘Modiji’s NSA Ajit Doval salutes the real Nationalistic Policy of Cong-UPA to tackle terror. ‘UPA-Cong came with a categorical policy on hijacking. No concession, no talks.’ Why did the BJP Govt not show the same guts? Surjewala tweeted.
