New Delhi, Nov 25 (IBNS) : Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘hugplomacy’ with US President Donald Trump after Pakistan released 2008 Mumbai attacks mastermind and Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed from house arrest.

His innuendo is directed to Modi's embraces with Trump whenever the two met.

In a tweet, Gandhi said “more hugs were urgently needed” between PM Modi and US President Donald Trump as the terror mastermind is now free.

“Narendrabhai, बात नहीं बनी. Terror mastermind is free. President Trump just delinked Pak military funding from LeT. Hugplomacy fail. More hugs urgently needed,” he said.

Hafeez Saeed was released from house arrest on  Friday following a court order.

Coming out of house arrest, the JuD chief made anti-India tirade, saying he will  gather people  for the “cause of Kashmir” and try to help Kashmiris get their “destination of freedom”.
