TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The Congress has slammed the BJP-led NDA government for not having any policy on national security and asked it “to take off its bangles” and act against Pakistan to avenge the killing of two Indian soldiers whose bodies were mutilated. The Congress also urged the government to give the army a free hand to take appropriate action against Pakistan to avenge the killing of its soldiers.
Congress spokesperson Kapil Sibal took a swipe at the BJP-led government asking how many heads of Pakistanis would it bring to avenge the beheading of its two soldiers and recalled the words of current External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj to bring “10 heads for one” when Lance Naik Hemraj was beheaded in 2013 during the Congress-led UPA’s term.
He also recalled Swaraj’s swipe at then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of sending him bangles when such an incident happened during the UPA and asked “would that woman leader, who is today a minister, send bangles to her prime minister?”
“It is unfortunate that the prime minister and government do not have any policy on national security…They only think of elections so who will think of national security? We urge this government to take off its bangles and do something and frame a policy,” he said.
