Pulwama Anniversary: Rahul Gandhi, CPM Politicise Terror Attack

Congress leader and Wayanad MP, Rahul Gandhi tweeted to pose three questions to the Modi government on the first anniversary of the Pulwama attack. He wondered as to who benefited the most from the attack and what the outcome of the inquiry was. The Wayanad MP wished to know whether action had been taken against anyone in the BJP government.

Former Rajya Sabha member of CPI (M) Mohammed Salim remarked that the country does not need a memorial to be reminded of our incompetence. In his tweet, he also wondered as to how such a large quantity of RDX could be smuggled across the international border into India in the most militarised zone.

Hitting back at Rahul Gandhi, Delhi BJP leader Kapil Mishra in a Twitter post said that such a question could also be posed to him on who benefited the most from the assassinations of former Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. His tweet further asked Rahul Gandhi to have some shame:

Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi also slammed the opposition for playing politics on such a solemn occasion. BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia criticised Rahul Gandhi in sharp terms and said that the Congress was trivializing the sacrifice of the brave CRPF martyrs.
