Rahul Gandhi blamed Modi government's strategy on Kashmir for the terrorism attack in Amarnath.

New Delhi: Stepping up his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today accused him of pursuing policies that created space for terrorists in Kashmir.

He also said that the prime minister’s pursuit of short-term political gains from the BJP-PDP alliance in the state has cost the country dear and resulted in sacrifices of innocent Indians.

“Modi’s policies have created space for terrorists in Kashmir. Grave strategic blow for India.”

“Short term political gain for Modi from PDP alliance has cost India massively,” he said in a series of tweets.

“Modi’s personal gain = India’s strategic loss + sacrifice of innocent Indian blood.”

The Congress vice president had yesterday termed the attack on Amarnath pilgrims as a “grave and unacceptable security lapse” and asked the prime minister to accept responsibility.

He had also said that India will never be intimidated by terrorists.

“The government needs to introspect as to why, despite advanced intelligence inputs, was there a failure to prevent this attack?” a resolution passed by 18 opposition parties yesterday said.
