Congress on Saturday used former Pakistan premier Nawaz Sharif’s arrest to take a shot at Narendra Modi, asking what the PM thought of the imprisonment of his “dear friend”.

“Nawaz Sharif has been arrested on corruption charges. We’d like to know what his dear friend, PM Modi has to say about this,” the Congress said in a tweet.

The statement was an apparent jibe at a surprise stop Modi had made in 2015 in Lahore while returning from Afghanistan and had attended a wedding in the Sharif family.
