PM attacked us despite unity talk, says Rahul Gandhi

DHULE | MUMBAI: Slamming PM Modi for criticising the Congress despite talking about the need for unity after the Pulwama attack, party chief Rahul Gandhi on Friday said the PM can’t refrain from engaging in public relations exercise “even for five minutes”.

At a rally in Mumbai later, Gandhi challenged Modi to hold a press conference. “After the Pulwama attack, I told my party leaders and workers to ensure that nobody criticised the government and (said) the country should stand together in this fight,” Gandhi said.

Political attacks on the government could be made once the tensions eased, he said.


“Modi tells media that India is united after the Pulwama terror attack. Immediately after that, he criticises us during the war memorial opening (in Delhi).”
