Slamming the ruling party for putting up a post showing Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan, the BJP on Monday said the Karnataka Congress unit's IT cell functions like a "sleeper cell for Pakistani terrorists".

The Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly, R. Ashoka, said: "Even before Operation Sindoor began, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who had advocated against war with Pakistan and taken a pro-Pakistan stand, had later faced public backlash and took a U-turn."

He further said that as Operation Sindoor destroyed terrorist hideouts, the Congress party, which tweeted messages preaching peace, faced public outrage and was eventually forced to delete the social media post.

"Now, by posting a map on X that depicts Kashmir as part of Pakistan, the Karnataka Congress party has once again shown how much affection it harbours for a rogue nation like Pakistan," Ashoka said.

"All in all, there is little doubt left that the IT cell of the Karnataka Congress functions like a sleeper cell for Pakistani terrorists," Ashoka stated.
