Choudhry's stray, and out of context tweet came in response to Rahul Gandhi condemning the arrest of Jammu and Kashmir PCC chief Ghulam Ahmed Mir and spokesperson Ravinder Sharma in Jammu on Friday. 

The former Congress president said that with this action against the grand old party, the government has delivered democracy ' another blow,' moreover questioned the arrests of Opposition leaders.

Apart from instigating cross border terrorism, Pakistan has been meddling in India's domestic affairs ever since the abrogation of Article 370. 

On August 14, the Pakistani Minister engaging in communal politics, appealed to a certain section of India specifically to 'deny duty' in Kashmir. And on August 7, urged Pakistan PM Imran Khan's PTI government to cut diplomatic ties with New Delhi.

Addressing a joint session of the Parliament over the Kashmir issue, Choudhry said, "If there is no diplomacy, why is money being spent on diplomats? We should break diplomatic ties with India."

Furthermore, called Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Ajay Bisaria the representative of a 'fascist government.' Bisaria returned to India after relationship with the neighbour further strained.
