New Delhi, Apr 28 (IBNS) Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley on Monday slammed National Conference (NC) chief Farooq Abdullah for saying people who will vote for the party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi should drown in the sea.

"He is a senior leader and this the kind of statement he makes! Instead of teaching secularism to the rest of India he should divert his energy to get back the Kashmiri Pandits to Kashmir," said Jaitley.

On Sunday, addressing an election rally, Farooq said, "Kashmiris are not opportunists. The BJP says those opposing Modi should go to Pakistan. I say those who vote for Modi should go and drown in the sea."
