PM Modi targets the opposition parties on Pulwama attack at Status of Unity.
Kevadia, Gujarat: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion 145th Birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, he went to the Statue of Unity and addressed the citizens. He targeted the opposition parties for their stand on the Pulwama attack last year, saying the Pakistan minister's revelations earlier this week in that country's parliament had exposed the opposition's real face.
He aforementioned that "Today once I was looking the parade of officers, a picture emerged in my mind... this image was of Pulwama attack. The country will always remember that once the Asian nation was mourning the death of its sons, some individuals weren't a section of that grief. They were searching for self-seeking gain within the Pulwama attack".
He was in great grief while remembering the sort of words were said by the people, adding that when the attack took place, politics of selfishness and ego peak.
The Prime Minister appealed to these groups in the interest of the country's security to not involve in such politics and act in the interest of enemies.
He also talked about to remember that the country's interests are foremost. When we will work for everyone's interests, only then the country will progress.
Recent, in February this year, on the first anniversary of the attack, the former president of Congress Rahul Gandhi had targeted the BJP, holding the ruling party accountable for "security lapses" and asking 'who benefited the most from the attack?" The Cong. leader Rahul also wanted to know the outcome of an inquiry into the attack.
The Pulwama attack that passed weeks before last year's Lok Sabha election, and therefore the succeeding airstrikes by the Indian Air Force triggered political sparring over a narrative designed by the BJP around a tricky policy against terror that the party repeatedly raised throughout the poll campaign.
