New Delhi (NVI): In a fierce attack on the Opposition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that the admission by the neighbouring country has exposed the real faces of those who did politics over the Pulwama attack.

He also said that when the entire nation was mourning the death of brave soldiers in the Pulwama terror attack, some people indulged in dirty politics for their political gains.

Modi’s statement came days after Pakistan’s Federal Minister Fawad Chaudhry admitted his country’s role in the Pulwama attack during a debate in their National Assembly.

The Prime Minister was speaking at Kevadia in Gujarat after paying tributes to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at the Statue of Unity on his 145th birth anniversary.

PM Modi said that he was reminded of Pulwama attack while watching the parade of paramilitary forces today. He said the country can never forget the incident and the whole nation was saddened by the departure of its brave sons.

“The country cannot forget the unwanted statements given after Pulwama attack. Dirty politics laced with selfishness and arrogance was at its peak when the country was suffering from immense pain,” Modi added.

He further said, “The real face of such people has been exposed after the truth was accepted in Parliament of our neighbouring country.”

“I want to urge such political parties not to indulge in this kind of politics as it affects the morale of our security forces,” the PM stated.

The Prime Minister said knowingly or unknowingly by playing into the hands of anti-national forces for your selfishness, you will not be able to work for the interest of the country nor for your party. He stressed that the highest interest for all of us should be the country’s interest.

Last year in February, a convoy of vehicles, carrying security personnel on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway, was attacked by a vehicle-borne suicide bomber at Lethpora in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir. The attack resulted in the death of 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel.
