Hours after India Today aired an exclusive footage of former prime minister Manmohan Singh lashing out at PM Narendra Modi, BJP chief has hit out at the former prime minister.

Amit Shah in a series of tweets targeted the former prime minister. "We want to ask respected Manmohan Singh ji why was he not angry & anguished when a CM of his country was called 'Maut Ka Saudagar.' Why is he still silent when PM of his country is called 'Neech'?," asked Shah in one of his tweets.

Shah said that the respected former prime minister has done his best to mislead the people of Gujarat in previous elections and Gujarat has rejected him and Congress each time.

On ex-PM Manmohan Singh's statement, Amit Shah asked that where was Dr Singh's anger when president-elect of the Congress Party Rahul Gandhi tore an ordinance which his Cabinet had cleared.

Towing PM Modi's line of the allegation of a secret meeting between Pakistan leaders and Congress, Shah asked the former PM why he took a u-turn when Congress leaders Anand Sharma and Randeep Surjewala vehemently denied such meeting.

"We are seeing a very angry Manmohan Singhji these days. We just want to ask him whether he was so angry when monumental loot and plunder was happening under his watch. The nation missed his anger then," said Shah.

Singh had issued a rebuttal against PM Modi's allegation of meeting held at suspended Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar's home in New Delhi. PM Modi while addressing a recent rally in Gujarat had alleged that the meeting was attended by former PM Manmohan Singh, Pakistan High Commissioner and a former Pakistani foreign minister.

PM Modi also said that the attendees at Aiyar's party also discussed the much-anticipated Gujarat Assembly Elections.
