Who benefitted, who all held accountable: Rahul Gandhi questions Modi govt on Pulwama attack anniversary

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi A year after 40 CRPF jawans were killed in a car bomb attack in Pulwama, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Friday attacked the ruling BJP asking what was the result of the inquiry into the incident and who was held accountable. He also questioned who benefitted from the attack.

Paying tributes to the jawans who died in the attack, Rahul Gandhi on Twitter wrote: “Today as we remember our 40 CRPF martyrs in the #PulwamaAttack, let us ask: 1. Who benefitted the most from the attack? 2. What is the outcome of the inquiry into the attack? 3. Who in the BJP Govt has yet been held accountable for the security lapses that allowed the attack?”

In one of the deadliest attacks on Indian security forces, about 44 CRPF personnel were killed when an explosive-laden vehicle rammed one of the buses carrying the forces from Jammu to Srinagar on February 14. Jaish-e-Mohammad had claimed responsibility for the attack. In response to the attack, India launched airstrikes at JeM training camps in Balakot before dawn on February 26.
