Taking a dig at Modi, Maken said: “Even as the neutralisation of terrorists at the Pathankot air base continued with our security forces fighting valiantly, Modi was propagating yoga to the gatherings in Karnataka”. Further attacking Congress, he accused them of aiding people with traitor-like mindsets by their relentless attempts at creating doubts and misleading the nation. The Congress party and their authorities, from which we inherited the issue of terror, right now are criticising the federal government and politicizing terror.
