NEW DELHI, 09 January 2022, (TON): Indian Congress Leader Udit Raj has claimed that “power-hungry” Narendra Modi had planned the Pulwama terror attack that took place in February 2019, just weeks before the Indian parliamentary elections that saw the latter consolidating his grip on the country.

In a tweet, the Congress leader termed the security breach during recent Modi’s visit to Indian Punjab a drama۔

He said “it proved that Modi was behind the ghastly terror attack in which 40 personnel lost their lives.”

Indian media quoted Raj as saying “Why the soldiers were allowed to travel in a convoy and were not airlifted.”

Earlier, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi including other Indian politicians had also raised doubts over the terror attack.

Lawmaker from India’s Wayanad district asked who benefitted the most from the attack and why no accountability was fixed over the security lapses that led to the attack.

Last year, Pakistan urged the international community to hold India accountable for vitiating the regional security environment after it emerged that New Delhi had staged the Pulwama attack to ensure election win for Narendra Modi.
