Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday hugged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and later appeared to wink in some dramatic moments in the Lok Sabha, capping his blistering attack on the BJP mascot, accusing him of being a bhagidar- collaborator in corruption and not a -chowkidar- and saying people were victims of his -jumla- strikes.

Gandhi-s no-holds barred attack at Modi on a range of issues, including the controversial Rafale jet deal in his hour-long speech during a debate on the no-confidence motion against the government often sparked loud protests from the treasury benches, but it was his walk across the Well of House at the end to hug Modi that left almost everyone, not the least the prime minister, surprised.
