Another Congressman Absolves Pakistan of Any Liability for the Pulwama Attack? Irks BJP in Poll Speech | WATCH

Another Congress lawmaker seems to have given Pakistan the benefit of the doubt in the 2019 Pulwama attack case, just as political tensions are rising amid the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took a strong exception to the recent statement made by former minister and veteran party candidate Mahender Pratap Singh in Faridabad, as it implied that the 2019 attack “wasn’t done by Pakistan, but rather the Indian government.”

“The issue of the Pulwama assault is public knowledge. They did not want to utilize the route because of the security concern; therefore, their own governor, Satya Pal Malik, had disclosed that he had asked the prime minister to airlift the troops. This discovery is the ultimate evidence. Thus, the second term (as long as this poll gimmick was achieved) was achieved. And now they are getting ready for a third term,” Singh is heard stating in the address given at an election rally that BJP leader Vishnu Vardhan Reddy posted on X.

Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, Shashi Tharoor, Vijay Wadettiwar, Amarinder Singh Channi, the former chief minister of Punjab, and others recently made remarks like these on terrorist incidents in India.

Warring referred to the 2019 Pulwama tragedy as a “mystery” and said that the BJP-led government “can do anything during elections,” while Channi labeled the terror attacks that occur around election time “stuntbaazi.”

The political uproar caused by the former chief minister of Punjab’s comments coincided with a terrorist assault on an Indian Air Force convoy in Poonch, Jammu & Kashmir.

However, Maharashtra senior officer Hemant Karkare, who supervised the Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad during the 26/11 terror assault, was allegedly “not killed by terrorists but by a police official close to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS),” according to Congress MP Vijay Wadettiwar.

Wadettiwar said that the book “Who Killed Karkare,” published by former police officer SM Mushriff, served as the basis for his remarks.

Shashi Tharoor, a senior leader of the grand old party, later called for a “serious investigation” into Wadettiwar’s assertion. I believe that a thorough investigation of this claim ought to have been conducted. It’s not too late, either. Since the country has a right to know the truth about such a significant issue, Tharoor said.
