New Delhi [India], April 24 (ANI): BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on Thursday slammed the National Congress Party (SCP) leader Anil Deshmuk over his remarks on Pahalgam terror attack, and said that the statement shows that INDI ecosystem is with “Pakistan Islamic Jihad”.
“After Robert Vadra, statements of Anil Deshmukh, Abu Azmi and the AIUDF MLA show that INDI ecosystem is with Pakistani Islamic Jihad. Anil Deshmukh says that it is not verified that these people were killed because they were Hindus. Is Anil Deshmukh mocking the victims? Has he not listened to the statements of the victims? It has become their Standard Operating Procedure to give a clean chit to Pakistan and blame Hindus,” Poonawalla said.
Earlier today, Nationalist Congress Party (SCP) leader Anil Deshmukh stated that there was no confirmed information on whether the terrorists of the Pahalgam terror attack had asked the religion of the victims before shooting them.
Speaking to ANI, Deshmukh stated that only investigation would help to know the truth.
“There is no clarity and confirmed information whether the gunmen had asked the religion of the tourists before shooting them…. Only after investigation will we get to know the truth…” Deshmukh said.
He also condemned the incident and said that the government had been taking strict action against the massacre by the terrorists.
“Very unfortunate incident… the government is working to take strict against this massacre the terrorist have done. The Indus agreement has also been postponed…. These are very good steps that the government has taken,” he further stated.
The party leader also asked how terrorists could enter the site of the incident, which was 200 kms away from the border and called it an intelligence failure.
“The question is that the attack took place 200 kms from the border… how did the terrorists get there? This is an intelligence failure…. All of this should be investigated,” he further said.
