Pulwama Terror Attack: Entire Oppn Stands With Security Forces, Govt, Says Rahul Gandhi

Speaking at a press conference a day after the Pulwama attack, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday said his party and the entire opposition is fully supportive of the government and the security forces.

No amount of hatred and anger can harm the love India is built on, Gandhi said.

An explosives-laden truck on Thursday rammed into a CRPF convoy in Pulwama outside Srinagar, killing at least 40 soldiers in one of the biggest terror attacks in recent years.

Gandhi was accompanied by former prime minister Manmohan Singh and other Congress leaders, including Ghulam Nabi Azad and A K Antony at the press conference.

"This is a terrible attack, this type of violence is disgusting. Terrorism tries to divide the nation, we can't be divided by any power. The entire opposition is with security forces and the government," Gandhi said.

"Those who have done this should not feel that they can harm the country. It is a time of mourning and sadness," he added.

Singh said the nation can never compromise with terrorism.

"Terrorism is a scourge which we can never compromise...," the former prime minister said.
