A day after a Pakistani politician in Assembly confessed that the country was behind the Pulwama terror attack that claimed the lives of 40 CRPF personnel in J & K, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Friday sought an apology from the Congress for its conspiracy theories around the incident.
What was described as a terror attack inspired by Pakistani terror outfits had prompted Indian punitive air strikes at Balakot across the borders, last year.
Taking to Twitter, Javadekar said, “Pakistan has admitted its hand behind Pulwama terror attack. Now, Congress and others who talked of conspiracy theories must apologise to the country,” he said.
The alleged terror attack took place on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway on February 14, 2019, when a convoy of vehicles carrying security personnel was struck by a vehicle-borne suicide bomber at Lethpora near Awantipura in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Lok Sabha polls were held in 2019 and on the first anniversary of Pulwama attack, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi had held the BJP responsible for security lapses asking who benefited the most from the attack.
