Former Mizoram Governor Aziz Qureshi has made a controversial remark on the Pulwama attack in which over 40 CRPF personnel were killed.
“Plan karke aapne ye karwaya taki apko mauka mile, lekin janta samajhti hai. Agar Modi ji chahein ki 42 jawanon ki hatya karke, unki chitaon ki raakh se apna rajtilak kar lein, janta nahi karne degi. (You planned it and got it done, but public knows it. If Modi ji wants that he can ascend to power by murdering 42 jawans and use their ashes for his coronation, then people will not allow this),” Qureshi, a Congress leader, said.
According to reports, Qureshi asked how the vehicle loaded with explosives was allowed to enter Jammu Kashmir. He added that if PM Modi thinks that he can win the election by planning the killing of 40 CRPF personnel then he will be given a befitting reply by the voters.
Aziz Qureshi was the 15th Governor of Mizoram. He has also served as the governor of Uttarakhand and governor of Uttar Pradesh.
In March, National Conference president and former Jammu Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah had stirred controversy by raising doubts over the death of 40 CRPF soldiers in Pulwama attack.
In a purported video shared, Abdullah could reportedly be heard as saying, “how many jawans have been killed in Chhattisgarh? Has Modi ever paid tributes to them? However, those 40 who died in Pulwama, I have my doubts”.
