Facing criticism for his allegations against the BJP regarding the 2019 Pulwama attack, Congress MP Anto Antony on Thursday claimed that he did not say that Pakistan had no role in the attack.
Speaking to a TV channel, he said that during the press conference on Wednesday it was the reporters who asked about Pakistan’s role and he had not expressed any opinion on that.
On Wednesday, when a reporter raised the issue of Pakistan’s involvement in the Pulwama attack, the Pathanamthitta MP had responded sharply, asking, “What involvement did Pakistan have in the Pulwama blast?” Mr. Antony, the Congress candidate for the Pathanamthitta Lok Sabha seat which he has represented since 2014, said that his response “was interpreted by those present there according to their self-interest and intelligence.”
