New Delhi : In a hard-hitting attack, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of doing “dalali” over the blood shed by Indian soldiers.
Gandhi was addressing a rally at the Jantar Mantar here at the end of his Kisan Yatra that took place in election-bound Uttar Pradesh.
Modi, he said, was taking political mileage from the surgical strikes the army conducted in Pakistani territory and the sacrifices of soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Unki dalali kar rahe ho,” he thundered.
“Yeh bilkul galat hai… Hindustan ki sena ne Hindustan ka kaam kiya, aap apna kaam keejiye… (This is totally wrong… The Indian Army did its job for India, you do your work),” the Congress leader said.
The Indian Army carried out surgical strikes on September 29 against terrorist launch pads across the Line of Control in the wake of a terror attack that left 19 soldiers dead in Jammu and Kashmir.
An aggressive Gandhi also accused Modi of not fulfilling promises made to the people during the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
