Congress Trains Guns On NSA Ajit Doval: Attacks Him In Rallies, Digs Out 2010 Interview

IANS, 12 Mar, 2019 08:35 PM

    The Congress has launched an all-out attack at current National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, holding him responsible for the 1999 release of Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar who orchestrated the recent Pulwama attack. From social media to rallies, the party is cornering the BJP over Doval everywhere.

     

    “PM Narendra Modi, please tell the families of our 40 CRPF shaheeds, who released their murderer, Masood Azhar? Also, tell them that your current NSA was the deal maker,” Rahul Gandhi had tweeted hours before he controversially referred the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief as “Masood Azhar ji” on Monday (March 11).

     

    “These people with 56-inch chest, you would recall, in their previous government, the current National Security Advisor Ajit Doval went in an aircraft with Masood Azhar ji and handed over Masood Azhar there in Kandahar,” Rahul had told Congress workers in Delhi.

     
     
     
     

    Then, on Tuesday, Congress dug out a 2010 interview of Doval where he is indicting the BJP government for the release of Azhar. A screenshot of the interview is headlined ‘Releasing Masood Azhar was a political decision’. In the tweet, Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala asks: Will PM Modi and Ravi Shankar Prasad admit to the anti-national act now?”
