New Delhi: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri Sector in which 18 Army soldiers were killed.
Addressing the mediapersons, Rahul said PM Modi's short-sighted alliance with Peoples Democratic Party has opened space for terrorism in Kashmir.
The Gandhi scion hit out at the incumbent government saying, the BJP-led NDA has no strategy in Kashmir and national security cannot be handled like public meets.
While referring to Uri teror attack, Rahul said, “I condemn what Pakistan has done. However, the space for that has been created by politics that NDA has carried out in Kashmir.”
Rahul said Congress is ready to help the government in every possible way.
Heavily-armed militants stormed a battalion headquarters of the Indian Army in North Kashmir's Uri town in the wee hours yesterday, killing 18 jawans and injuring 30 other personnel in the attack in which all four terrorists were neutralised.
Determined to use a calibrated, multi-layered and strategic response to Uri attack, India is likely to expose Pakistan before the world community by furnishing it with actionable evidence regarding its sponsoring of terrorism and press for isolating the nation.
India is also planning to hand over to Pakistan evidence of the four terrorists using Pakistani-marked weapons, food, energy drinks and GPS trackers which they carried to enter Jammu and Kashmir from across the Line of Control.
