Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has raised doubts over the surgical strikes by Indian Air Force (IAF) in Pakistan’s Balakot after the Pulwama attack in February 2019, saying nobody knows if something like this has taken place.
Reddy further flagged the “failure” of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) over the Pulwama incident, in which over 40 CRPF personnel were killed. His remarks came after similar comments by Congress leaders over the Pulwama attack.
“…For Modi, everything is politics, everything is about winning elections. So, Modi’s thinking is not right for the country. So, the country needs to be without BJP, without Modi now. They answer everything with ‘Jai Sri Ram’. Pulwama incident is a classic example. They have failed. What is the IB doing? What is the Intelligence network doing? Modi ji attempted political benefit from the surgical strike after Pulwama incident,” Reddy said.
My question to him is – What are you doing? Why did Pulwama incident happen? Why did you let it happen? What are you doing about internal security? Why did you not use agencies like IB, R&AW? It is your failure…Nobody knows to date if a surgical strike actually took place. So, internal security is Congress’ responsibility. We are not ready to leave the country in just anyone’s hands,” the Congress leader further said.
