BJP leader Varun Gandhi's attacks on his mother Maneka Gandhi's opponents are getting progressively sharper. A day after he said people like the Samajwadi Party-Bahujan Samaj Party's joint candidate untie his shoelace, the mercurial parliamentarian on Sunday called leaders of the alliance "Pakistanis". Also in his speech was a reference to the 1990 incident in which kar sevaks marching towards Ayodhya were fired upon in Mulayam Singh Yadav's first term as Uttar Pradesh chief minister.
