Can Congress afford to distance itself from Sam Pitroda's remark?

Union Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday slammed Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda for his comments on IAF's air strike on a terror camp in Balakot following the Pulwama attack, terming his statement as "unfortunate" and a "blessing for Pakistan's narrative".

"There is no country that has criticised the surgical strikes or the air strikes conducted by India except for one nation, Pakistan. The fact that senior Congress leaders are speaking the same language is unfortunate and also hurts the sentiments of the country. To say that the Pulwama attack was self-engineered is a blessing for Pakistan's narrative," he said.

Meanwhile, Congress has distanced itself from the controversy stating that Sam Pitroda made those comments in personal capacity. So, can Congress afford to distance itself from Sam Pitroda's remark? Watch what panelists have to say.
