NEW DELHI – Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Friday launched a harsh attack on Modi for “politicising” the Army’s “surgical strikes” along the Line of Control.
As per details by Indian Express, the Congress leader said the relations between India and Pakistan wouldn’t have been so strained if the BJP during its time in the government hadn’t released the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar. “Who created JeM? BJP did,” he said.
