On Thursday, referring to the Pulwama attack, SP general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav had said, “This was a conspiracy…But, when there will be a change of government, investigations will be done and prominent people will come under the scanner, who had pushed our youth to death to garner votes.” PM Modi termed the statement reprehensible.
“Opposition is the natural habitat of terror apologists and questioners of our armed forces. This reprehensible statement by a senior leader like Ram Gopal Ji insults all those who have given their lives in protecting Kashmir. It humiliates the families of our martyrs,” he said.
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said Ram Gopal Yadav’s comments were “big example of dirty politics” and an “attempt to demoralise” security forces. He said the remarks can weaken the morale of jawans.
“He has questioned the sacrifices made by CRPF jawans. He must apologise for this comments.” Such statements will lower the morale of soldiers and raise the morale of terrorist organisations, Adityanath claimed. On earlier occasion also, Akhilesh has accused the BJP of using the strike to “distract” people.
“The soldiers were martyred and there was an intelligence failure (in the Pulwama attack). What have they (BJP) done for the Army men? People of the country want ‘ann’ (food) not gun,” he had recently said.
