TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ With Rahul Gandhi attacking the BJP for the release of Masood Azhar, its president Amit Shah Friday accused the Congress chief of being “insensitive” and questioning the wisdom of his own party leaders like Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh who had endorsed the decision in an all-party meeting.
Hitting back at his Congress counterpart, Shah sought to corner the opposition party on the issue of terrorism, asking why the UPA government had released 25 terrorists from jails in 2010 in the name of improving ties with Pakistan.
“The fact is that the Congress’ stand on terrorism, separatism and naxalism has always been vacillating. Even senior Congress leader Sheila Dikshit has acknowledged that policies of Manmohan Singh were soft compared to those of the Modi government on terrorism,” Shah said.
