Jaipur/Ajmer/Bharatpur, Oct. 18 -- Congress workers burned effigies of Rajasthan BJP president Madan Rathore across several districts on Friday, demanding his resignation over remarks purportedly supporting Pakistan in the event of a war with the United States. The BJP defended Rathore, alleging that his statement had been distorted and taken out of context. Congress workers held protests in Jaipur, Ajmer, Sikar, Jaisalmer, Dungarpur, Beawar, Hanumangarh, Dholpur, Bundi, Phalodi and Bharatpur. In Ajmer, Youth Congress workers led by national convenor Mohit Malhotra pasted posters reading "Madan Rathod Go Back Pakistan" outside the BJP's divisional office and raised slogans. BJP leaders subsequently filed a complaint naming those allegedly involved at the Civil Lines police station. Ajmer SP Harshvardhan Agarwal also reached the spot. Police filed a case and detained more than six youths. BJP state general secretary Shravan Singh Bagdi said the discussion had centred on patriotism and putting the nation first, but a video clip lasting only a few seconds was being used to give the remarks a different meaning. A video that surfaced on Thursday purportedly showed Rathore saying, "If a war breaks out between America and Pakistan, we will stand with Pakistan because it is our neighbour." Rathore later clarified that he had been referring to cricket matches and neighbourly relations, not a military conflict....
