@rssurjewala

Baseless charges are being leveled, says @rssurjewala. 10,000 police personnel had been deployed for @PMOIndia rally. Entire route had Punjab & Haryana police deployed. PM was to travel by helicopter. Not road route. Last minute plan to go by road to Hussainiwala & rally Bhatinda

@PMOIndia

Congress says last minute decision to travel by road. Police could not say no to @PMOIndia & hurried arrangements made. Some farmers decided to protest on the road to press for their demands. Should police have shot those farmers who blocked the PM's route? No crowd for PM rally.

@CHARANJITCHANNI

Punjab CM @CHARANJITCHANNI regrets the incident. Says he was to receive & accompany @PMOIndia but could not as officials close to him had tested #Covid_19 positive. Fin Min Manpreet Badal welcomed PM @narendramodi at Bathinda. Till 3 am we removed agitators from the road. IB knew

MHA calls it a SERIOUS SECURITY LAPSE.
MHA statement: Today morning PM Narendra Modi landed at Bathinda from where he was to go to National Martyrs Memorial at Hussainiwala by helicopter.Due to rain and poor visibility, PM waited for about 20 minutes for the weather to clear out.

``When the weather did not improve, it was decided that he would visit the National Marytrs Memorial via road, which would take more than two hours. He proceeded to travel by road after necessary confirmation of necessary security arrangements by the DGP Punjab Police.''

Around 30 kms away from National Martyrs Memorial in Hussainiwala, when Prime Minister’s convoy reached a flyover, it was found that the road was blocked by some protestors. PM was stuck on a flyover for 15-20 minutes. This was a major lapse in the security of the Prime Minister.

Old saying: Way to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Some advocating removal of #AFSPA as a 'goodwill' gesture, same ecosystem advocated removal of #AFSPA even in valley before 2016 violence.
Keep #AFSPA, ensure it is not misused by anyone.
Probe & act in a transparent manner.

Some are passing judgment without all facts being in public domain. Let facts emerge, including details of intelligence inputs & operations.
Did vehicle not stop when directed to? Did occupants flee when challenged? Let Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe reveal all facts 1st.

In the past reported forces being removed from pockets of 'south Kashmir' as a 'goodwill gesture.' There were headlines too. But soon terrorists exploited the vacuum & more soldiers were killed trying to reestablish rule of law in those pockets.
Goodwill gestures wont bring peace

@P_Musharraf

We didn't know better then. As we celebrated cricket, Gen @P_Musharraf launched #Pak Army into #Kargil. Dec 18, 1999 Capt Nadeem & L/NK Laikjaan & others were sent on reconnaissance patrols. We gave Pak cricketers a standing ovation, Pak Army firmed up defences on Kargil heights

530 Indian families lost a son, a brother, a husband, a soldier in the #Kargil war. In the months preceding Kargil, #Lahore bus journey was hailed as a game changer that would herald an era of peace. Pak sent one team to Chepauk, another with Assault rifles & Arty guns to Kargil.

We could have been fooled then but now we have access to information even from #Pakistan. The architects of the plan Gen Musharraf, Lt Gen Mohd Aziz Khan (CGS), Lt Gen Mahmud Ahmed (X Corps Cdr) & executed by Maj Gen Javed Hasan, (FCNA) & Brig Nusrat Sial (62 Bde Cdr) #FactsFirst

`Victory of Muslims over Hindus,' Pak cricket captain Mushtaq Mohammed after 1978 test series win. (Don't just blame Pak interior minister Sheikh Rasheed. It is #Pak DNA. Understand it.)
India's aim should be to isolate #Pakistan till it remains a state sponsor of terror.

@ShkhRasheed

Why would #Pak bring in religion into #Cricket? Whether it is '#SheedaTalli' @ShkhRasheed or #MushtaqMohd,Pak cricket captain who in a cricket series after close to 2 decades called Pak victory over #India victory of Muslims over Hindus: coincidence, happenstance or enemy action?

@ShkhRasheed

Is @ShkhRasheed a lone looney linking #Pakistan cricket team victory to #Islam? Is it only #MushtaqMohd who called #Pakistan cricket team victory in 1978 victory of #Muslims over #Hindus. Another gem from another Pak cricketer about namaz offered on ground. Know their mindset
