Former Punjab Congress chief Partap Singh Bajwa on Monday launched a frontal attack on BJP-led NDA Government over alleged lapses in national security, leading to the terrorist attack on Pathankot airbase.
Bajwa targeted Home Minister Rajnath Singh over the “confusion and contradiction” in the Pathankot operation, saying it was exemplified by his tweet, “The (Pathankot) operation is over. We have won a great victory. Five terrorists have been killed”, even though the operation to flush out the militants was still on.
“And only four terrorists, not five had been killed. If the country’s Home Minister has access to such little information, what would be the plight of junior functionariesIJ” Bajwa asked and flayed BJP for “shouting from rooftops” about being “tough on terrorism”.
Bajwa also posed queries on NSA Ajit Doval. “And what about NSA Ajit Doval he who accompanied the progenitor of the attack Maulana Masood Azhar to Kandahar in the biggest sellout in Indian national security historyIJ
“Running the cleansing operation by remote control from New Delhi, he refused to the local army commander on the ground to take charge, preferring instead to entrust command to the IG of the NSG who would not in any case have been familiar with the ground,” Bajwa claimed.
