Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him “Prime Time Minister” for shooting for a film in Uttarakhand on the day of the Pulwama terror attack.
“The people of India and the martyrs’ families were deep in mourning, and the prime minister was laughing at a photoshoot deep in a valley,” Gandhi tweeted. The Congress chief also attached photographs showing Modi at the Jim Corbett National Park.
पुलवामा में 40 जवानों की शहादत की खबर के तीन घंटे बाद भी ‘प्राइम टाइम मिनिस्टर’ फिल्म शूटिंग करते रहे।
देश के दिल व शहीदों के घरों में दर्द का दरिया उमड़ा था और वे हँसते हुए दरिया में फोटोशूट पर थे।#PhotoShootSarkar pic.twitter.com/OMY7GezsZN

BJP dismisses criticism:
The BJP, however, dismissed the Congress’ criticism of Modi, accusing the party of spreading fake news. “Rahul Ji, India is tired of your fake news,” the saffron party tweeted. “Stop sharing photos from that morning to shamelessly mislead the nation. Maybe you knew in advance of the attack but people of India got to know in the evening. Try a better stunt next time, where sacrifice of soldiers isn’t involved.”
