New Delhi: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi today raked the Pulwama terror attack and hit out at the government for not acting on actionable inputs that could have averted the attack.
“On 14th Feb 2019, the PM was busy shooting a film having ignored prior intelligence inputs and leaving our jawans to die in Pulwama. Why were actionable intelligence inputs ignored,” he said.
The attack took place in Pulwama on 14 February, 2019 when 40 personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were killed after a suicide bomber rammed an IED-laden vehicle into the security convoy carrying them. The convoy of 78 buses carrying 2,500 CRPF personnel was moving from Jammu towards Srinagar.
The attack occurred after a 22-year-old suicide bomber Adil Ahmad Dar drove an explosive-laden Maruti Eeco car through one of the alleyways onto the highway at around 3pm and rammed his vehicle into a bus carrying the CRPF troopers.
