Amarnath attack | PM Modi's policies have created space for terrorists in Kashmir: Rahul Gandhi

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the attack on Amarnath pilgrims and said his policies have created a space for terrorists in Kashmir.

"Modi’s policies have created space for terrorists in Kashmir. Grave strategic blow for India," Rahul Gandhi said in a series of tweets.

The Congress leader also said that short term political gain for Modi from PDP alliance has cost India massively. "Modi’s personal gain= India's strategic loss + sacrifice of innocent Indian blood," Rahul tweeted.

Earlier, terming the attack on Amarnath pilgrims as a 'grave and unacceptable security lapse' Rahul had asked Modi to accept responsibility.

"The PM needs to accept responsibility and never allow it to happen again... India will never be intimidated by these terrorist cowards," he said.

Over the last few days, the Congress Vice President has been launching attacks on the Modi government over various issues, calling him a weak PM.

Seven Amarnath pilgrims, five of them women, were killed in a militant attack in Anantnag on Monday night.
