Chavan questions PM's silence after Pak forces behead jawans

Maharashtra Congress chief Ashok Chavan today questioned the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over mutilation of two soldiers' bodies by Pakistani forces in Poonch sector.
"Modi had assured that there would be no terror strikes after demonetisation. But the attacks are continuing and now the bodies of Indian soldiers have been mutilated. Why is the government with a 56-inch chest quiet?" he told reporters here while condemned the act by Pakistani forces.
He blamed BJP's Kashmir policy for increasing violence in the Valley.
"There is no let up in the violence in J&K. It is due to the apathy of the Centre. Kashmir is burning. Pakistan is repeatedly violating the LoC.

"Before forming the government both Modi and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj spoke of how India should kill 10 Pakistani soldiers if one Indian jawan was killed," he said.
Chavan demanded strong action against Pakistan.

On Shiv Sena meeting chief minister Devendra Fadnavis with a demand to convene special session of the legislature, Chavan said Sena should stop such "theatrics".
"Shiv Sena is in power. It should give loan waiver to farmers and if it is not able to do so, the party should quit the government," he said.
The Congress leader alleged a Rs 400 crore scam in procurement of tur (pulse).

"Senior government officials are likely to be involved. The government should act swiftly against all culprits,"he demanded.
