Indian CM blames Narendra Modi for Pulwama attack
Indian CM Mamata Banerjee blames Narendra Modi for Pulwama attack.
(Web Desk) – Indian West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has directly blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Pulwama attack and claimed that Modi did not try to prevent the onslaught despite knowing about it, The Hindu reported.
Addressing a meeting of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), Banerjee asked why the Prime Minister did not play a pro-active role in stopping the attack.
“You [Mr. Modi] knew that the attack would take place. Intelligence input was there. But they [jawans] were neither airlifted, nor was there any naka checking or road checking. Everyone was allowed to move freely. Why? In order to take advantage during the election. Now Modi is trying play a game of war,” Ms. Banerjee said.
This is the first time that she has directly blamed the PM for the Pulwama attack that killed over 40 CRPF jawans.
“They [BJP] are calling people and offering money to join the party. Where is this money coming from,” Ms. Banerjee said.
She also accused the BJP of instigating Hindus against the Muslims.
“They [BJP] have bought burqha and are making [miscreants] wear those. Then they are spreading rumour that these are cheledhora [child abductors]. The objective of doing this is to turn the Hindu community against the Muslims and we have been informed about such incidents,” Ms. Banerjee said and asked the party leaders to maintain calm.
