'How Low Will Congress Stoop': Anurag Thakur Slams Former Punjab CM Channi After He Calls Poonch Attack 'BJP's Stunt'

Charanjit Singh Channi alleged that the Poonch terror attack was 'pre-planned' and said such 'stuntbaazi' is done to make the BJP win the Lok Sabha elections.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Sunday condemned the remarks of former Punjab Chief Minister and Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi on the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district and sought an apology from Congress president Kharge and party leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

Charanjit Singh Channi alleged that the Poonch terror attack was "pre-planned" and said such "stuntbaazi" is done to make the Bharatiya Janata Party win the Lok Sabha elections. "This is stuntbaazi. And not the (terror) attacks. When elections come, such stunts are done to make the BJP win. These are pre-planned attacks, there is no truth in them...," the Congress leaderm said, as quoted by news agency ANI. "To kill people and to play with their bodies....BJP knows it," he alleged.

Thakur launched a scathing attack at Congress, saying that the grand old party questioned the ability of our forces. "How low will Congress stoop?" he asked.

Speaking to mediapersons, the BJP leader said, "I have a question for Congress were the 1962 war, 1965 war and  1971 war done for winning elections? On such a ridiculous statement Congress president Kharge, Sonia Gandhi & Rahul Gandhi should apologise...They question the ability of our forces...How low will Congress stoop? Will Congress insult our Bravehearts for the sake of winning elections?"

An Indian Air Force (IAF) soldier was killed and four others were injured in the terror attack in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday evening.
