Jawans paid with lives for Centre’s lapses: Mamata Banerjee

Kolkata | Tuesday | 19th February, 2019

Summary:

The game plan is to drive a wedge between communities to cause riots ahead of elections. KOLKATA: Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Monday questioned the timing of the Pulwama terror attack — “just after Parliament was over and weeks ahead of the polls” — in her most direct attack on the Narendra Modi government’s “lapses” and “neglect” that “put CRPF jawans in such a situation”. I am directing cops, right from the police station office-in-charge level, to tackle this malicious design with iron hands. Why has this happened just after Parliament is over and weeks ahead of polls?” she said, demanding “a serious probe” into the attack. Police should not stay reluctant or look the other way if a riot breaks out somewhere,” she said..
