NEW DELHI: A deep divide within two senior Congress leaders, Jairam Ramesh and Digvijaya Singh, came to the fore on Monday during the party’s ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra in the Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir. The two leaders clashed over the Pulwama terror attack which took place in the UT on February 14, 2019, just a couple of months ahead of the last Lok Sabha election.
While speaking in an event organised for the Congress MP Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday, Digvijaya raked up the Pulwama attack and the Balakot air strikes carried out by the Indian armed forces against terrorist hideouts in Pakistan on February 26, 2019.
Digvijaya, a Rajya Sabha MP, said, “They (BJP leaders) talk about surgical strike. They claim that they killed several people in it. But there is no evidence. They are ruling only by speaking bundles of lies. I want to tell you that this country belongs to all.”
