NEW DELHI - Indian Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks that no major blasts had taken place in the country since 2014, saying there had been as many as 942 major bombings over the past five years.
“The PM says since 2014 the sounds of blasts can’t be heard in India. Pulwama...Pathankot..Uri...Gadchiroli...and 942 other major bombings since 2014,” Rahul tweeted.
“The PM needs to open his ears and listen,” he said.
The comment came in the wake of the Maoist attack in Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli district on Wednesday in which 15 police commandos and a civilian were killed.
Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera also slammed the Modi government alleging that “fake chest thumping” characterises the BJP-led government’s narrative towards national security.
He hit out at the Modi government over the Maoist attack and said that despite its “tall talk” no lessons from Pulwama are learnt.
