"I always used to wonder why America takes a stand favouring Pakistan despite the fact that the whole world considers it a terror state. It is clear now who gives the US the information and the inspiration to support Pakistan."

Gujarat CM also said Rahul's remarks that Hindu radical groups posed a greater threat to India than Muslim militants has benefitted Pakistan.

"There is nothing more harmful to India than this. It has played to Pakistan's benefit."
