In the wake of the Uri terror attack, GPCC president Bharat Solanki blamed the PDP-BJP coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir for the rise in “Pak-sponsored” attacks in the state.
In the wake of the Uri terror attack, GPCC president Bharat Solanki blamed the PDP-BJP coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir for the rise in “Pak-sponsored” attacks in the state.
The situation in Jammu and Kashmir would not have worsened if Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi was the Prime Minister of the country, he said on Monday.
The Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) chief also accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of trying to divide people on the basis of caste and religion. “Why is PM Modi keeping silent despite the killing of 18 jawans in Uri yesterday (Sunday)?”
Solanki said late PM Indira Gandhi had displayed “great courage” and got Bangladesh separated from Pakistan in the 1971 war. “Our country needs leaders like late Mrs Gandhi,” he said, condemning the Uri attack.
Solanki was in the city to felicitate newly elected office-bearers of the Maharaja Sayajirao University Students’ Union. ABVP candidates were defeated in the election and NSUI-backed candidates captured the two important posts of vice-president and general secretary.
Speaking about the election, he said, “This election indicates that the young generation is turning towards Congress and also shows good prospects for the party in winning the upcoming assembly polls in Gujarat”.
