After insensitive comments made by Navjot Singh Sidhu and Divya Spandana Congress leader Noor Bano joined the fray and blamed the security forces for Pulwama attack


New Delhi: After Navjot Singh Sidhu and Congress’ social media head Divya Spandana, another Congress leader went against the party line and insulted jawans who lost their lives in the ghastly terror attack in Pulwama district. Congress leader and former MP Noor Bano blamed the Indian Army for the terror attack.

Talking to Times Now Bano said, “Whatever happened was bad and this will affect us but we don’t know how BJP will exploit this and how they will use this attack.” She also said that the Army had an indication that they might be attacked but even then no precaution was taken.

Nobody else is responsible for this, except their own negligence, she said and pinned the responsibility of the attack on the forces, the home ministry and the current government.

Earlier, senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan defended the terrorist behind the Pulwama terror attack that killed 40 CRPF jawans and said that the bomber was harassed and beaten by the troops after which he embraced the path of violence. Bhushan’s tweet was endorsed by Spandana and she retweeted it.

“It is important to understand why so many young men in Kashmir are becoming militants and willing to die. Even US forces couldn’t hold Afghanistan and Iraq after large-scale suicide attacks,” Bhushan had tweeted.

Punjab Cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu also defended Pakistan and said that talks between the two countries should not stop. Defending the dastardly attack, Sidhu said both India and Pakistan need to find a permanent solution to the Kashmir issue and added that terrorists have no religion, no country and no caste.
