Kerala Congress MP questions Pak role in Pulwama attack on CRPF, BJP calls it insult

The remarks of Antony — who is pitted against BJP’s Anil Antony, the son of Congress veteran Anil Antony — came as both the ruling LDF and the main opposition UDF are protesting against the BJP-led Centre for notifying the CAA rules.

“This time (it is) CAA. Last time, just before the elections, it was Pulwama (attack)… What was Pakistan’s role in it? The lives of our jawans, who were in extremely adverse weather, were sacrificed. That is how they won the election. A blast that happened within Indian territory. They (jawans) were purposely sent, a blast happened and they were killed. This is what the (former J&K) Governor Satya Pal Malik said,” Anto told reporters in Pathanamthitta.

BJP’s Kerala unit president K Surendran said, “He (Anto) has insulted the brave soldiers of the country. People of Pathanamthitta will give a fitting reply to him through the ballot.’
