Fadnavis slams Congress leader's statement about Pahalgam terrorists

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis rubbished Congress MLA Vijay Wadettiwar's statement on Monday after Wadettiwar said: "Someone said that terrorists killed tourists in Pahalgam by asking about their religion. Is there really any time for this? Do terrorists stop to go near everyone, whisper in their ears, and ask about their religion?"

Ridiculing Wadettiwar's statement, Fadnavis said: "This is a very stupid statement. The families of the deceased will never forgive them after hearing this statement."

"By making such statements, they are rubbing salt into the wounds of relatives of those who died in the terrorist attack. The relatives of the victims had told the media. They had mentioned what happened there. Vadettiwar was not present at the place where the attack took place, at that time. However, by sitting here and making such statements, they are trying to hurt the feelings of the relatives of the deceased. Should we call this act stupidity or what else should we call it? I have no words to say about it," Fadnavis said.
