February 21, 2019 19:58

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party was busy with inauguration ceremonies at a time the kin of the Central Reserve Police Force men killed in the Pulwama terror attack were mourning the loss of their dear ones.

Addressing a press conference at the SP headquarter in Lucknow along with Patidar leader Hardik Patel, the former UP chief minister said the government should explain how the bus carrying security personnel was hit by an explosive-laden vehicle.

"When the personnel were travelling (in a bus) how was it hit by a vehicle? The government should reply. This (BJP) government is the one which gives certificate (of nationalism) to everyone. Now it should come up with an answer," he said.

Patel too asked, "Why were the CRPF personnel were sent via road."

Trying to corner the National Democratic Alliance government for laying foundation stones and inaugurating projects in the immediate aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack that left 40 CRPF personnel dead, Yadav alleged, "When the family of martyrs were mourning, they (BJP leaders) were busy in inaugurations and foundation laying." -- PTI
