Congress attacks Home Minister Amit Shah for continuing to address election campaigns
Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday said jawans cannot be fodder to be martyred at will” and claimed that the anti-naxal operations in Chhattisgarh were either poorly designed or incompetently executed.
Last Saturday, security forces, who were involved in anti-naxal combing operations in Chhattisgarh, came under heavy attack from the naxals that resulted in the death of 22 security personnel and injured, at least, another 30 of them. No Indian jawan should face an enemy without body armour in the 21st century. It needs to be made available to every soldier, Mr Gandhi he said in a tweet.
