“India’s borders & National Security has been under siege for last 2 years. Def Min. should be held accountable (sic),” Congress’ chief spokesman Randeep Surjewla tweeted.

In a series of tweets, he attacked Modi and the Centre over the terror strike on an Army base in which 17 soldiers were killed on Sunday.

“Will PM Modi show the courage of conviction by acting against those responsible for his own command & control structure including his Def Min.? (sic)” Surjewala asked.

“Will PM Modi concede that #UriAttack happened on account of a massive intelligence failure?Despite Poonch incident, why were we unprepared?

“EAM (External Affairs Minister) Sushma Ji is conspicuous by her absence on foreign policy. Isn’t PM Modi singularly responsible for the complete disarray?” he asked.

Surjewala wondered that while Modi has said that the attack won’t go unpunished, “will he traverse the distance from rhetoric to reality by firm & appropriate response?”

“Will ModiGovt tell who leaked info of troop movement & changeover? Why were jawans in tents & not in 2empty buildings?” he attacked.

He said the attack is the “final wake-up call” for the government which should ask the international community to impose sanctions against Pakistan. “Test for all Nations who oppose terror & stand with India,” he said.

Taking a dig at Parrikar, he said the Defence Minister is “busy threatening fellow Indians like Aamir Khan” and questioned whether the priorities have gone wrong for the government.

Four militants involved in the terror strike were killed by the Army.
