Congress has insulted 26/11 heroes, June 4 to be 'expiry date' of INDIA bloc, says PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday alleged the Congress has insulted security personnel and people martyred during the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, remarks coming in the backdrop of party leader Vijay Wadettiwar’s comments that then-ATS chief Hemant Karkare was not killed by Pakistan terrorist Ajmal Kasab.

Urging voters to ensure the Congress doesn’t win a single Lok Sabha seat in Maharashtra, he declared at a poll rally in Ahmednagar district that June 4 (the counting date) will be the “expiry date” of the opposition INDIA alliance.

Addressing a campaign rally for NDA candidates Sujay Vikhe Patil (BJP) in Ahmednagar and Sadashiv Lokhande (Shiv Sena) in Shirdi, he said the opposition party’s “A team is losing (in Lok Sabha polls) so the ‘B’ team from across the border has been activated and it is encouraging the Congress”, an apparent reference to remarks made on MP Rahul Gandhi by a Pakistan politician.
