Narendra Modi the Gujarat Chief Minister,
claims that his comment was misconstrued by
the media. He suggested on Sunday, a local
link to the Mumbai attack. Hardly a day is
over and the CM claries that the whole statement
was misread and he actually wanted to convey
that such a full size operation cannot be
completed without local networking.
He quoted “I have been quoted out of
context. I had said that if Pakistan was doing
such a big operation, then some local recce
must have happened. There must have been some
local networking. That is why I said that
the Indian government should continue its
dialogue with Pakistan, but it should also
work and look into this aspect. I believe
every aspect should be looked into.”
The BJP stressed here that
union minister, A R Antulay who was amidst
controversy for ruling out Pakistan’s
hand in the Mumbai terror attack was clear
in his statement, whereas Narendra Modi’s
statement has been misinterpreted. It also
said that, Modi wanted the look into the
local logistic support point of view.
The Congress slammed the
statement as being irresponsible and they
asked the BJP to inform the police if they
had any clues. The Congress also called
for domestic unity across party lines to
fight terrorism. |
