Pulwama Attack: BJP's GVL Calls Rahul Gandhi Sympathiser Of LeT, JeM

BJP general secretary and national spokesperson, GVL Narsimha Rao in a Twitter post, described Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as a 'known sympathiser' of the terrorist outfits of Pakistan, Lashkar-e-Tayyeba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). GVL added that Rahul Gandhi "chooses to target not just the government but security forces as well. Rahul will never question real culprit Pakistan. His tweet concluded with the words, "Shame on you Rahul!"

The head of the IT cell of BJP, Amit Malviya wondered if Rahul Gandhi seemed to suggest that Pakistan is not responsible for the Pulwama attack. "Why would you insist on giving them a clean chit? Did you not see Indian forces take out terrorists in Balakot? Are you disappointed that India took resolute action?" He also wanted to know what the Congress MP from Wayanad meant by saying the attack was "allowed".

BJP MP Subramanian Swamy observed in an interview to a television channel that Rahul Gandhi should have posed these questions in the Parliament. The first anniversary of the Pulwama terror attack was not the occasion to raise these questions, he added.

Leader of Nationalist Congress party NCP and Maharashtra minister, Nawab Malik said that many questions remained unanswered with regard to the Pulwama terror attack. These included where the vehicle was purchased. Nawab Malik said that the issue was politicised during Lok Sabha elections. He added that people want to know where the RDx came from.
