New Delhi sources stated that stepping up its attack on Narendra Modi, the Congress said the prime minister must say what he was doing in the initial two hours after the Pulwama terror strike and alleged that he was either "completely oblivious" to the incident or "insensitive". Meanwhile the opposition also alleged, citing DD News footage, that the prime minister addressed a rally in Uttarakhand at 5:10 pm via phone.
Furthermore the BJP has dubbed the Congress's allegations as "shameful" and rejected the charges, saying the opposition party exposed its "true colors" after it kept a "facade" of standing with security forces and the government following the terror strike. Reportedly Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari, at a press conference, said PM not only addressed the press conference but continued with a photo shoot at the Corbett National Park in the hours following the Pulwama terror strike in which 40 CRPF jawans died after a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist rammed an explosive laden vehicle into the paramilitary force's convoy in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district.
Tewari said "Either the prime minister was completely oblivious, or the prime minister was insensitive. Moreover either the prime minister did not know for two hours that a terror attack has taken place or the prime minister knew and was completely nonchalant about it”.
