HISAR (HARYANA): Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday hit out at the Congress over its poll promise of reviewing the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) and repealing the sedition law.
The Haryana chief minister blamed the country’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru for the Kashmir problem.
Calling the Congress’ poll manifesto a “Dhakosla patra” (sham manifesto), Khattar, addressing a public meeting at Kaimri in the district, questioned the opposition party’s promise of reviewing AFSPA.
He said after the Pulwama terror attack in February, which left 40 CRPF personnel dead, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had given a free hand to the defence forces to give a befitting reply to the militants.
He said, today, anyone who looks at India with an evil eye is made to pay in the same coin.
On the other hand, the Congress is promising to review AFSPA and repeal sedition law, he said. (AGENCIES)
