Cong 'politicising' Pathankot terror attack: Dattatreya

Union Minster Bandaru Dattatreya today accused Congress of "politicising" the Pathankot terror attack after the opposition party questioned Modi government's handling of Pakistan affairs.
"Pathankot incident...Army and security personnel bravely faced and gave fitting reply to terrorists. Entire country and international community are hailing the security forces. But the Congress party is speaking in different tone," Dattatreya, Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment, told reporters here.
"In the national interest, everybody is for giving a fitting reply to terrorists. But, Congress party is unnecessarily giving political angle to this (Pathankot terror attack)," he alleged
"Congress party is always politicising the things. Even in developmental works, the Congress is not co-operating and now in (matters of) national interest and terror related issues also they are giving political angle," he said.

According to the BJP leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's intention is (to have) peace in Asia and (maintaining peaceful relations) particularly in neighbouring countries.
"His (Modi's) aim of going to Pakistan was for (maintaining) peaceful relations," the Minister added.
Dattatreya further said that the NDA government is taking stringent action against terrorists, but "the Congress party never believes in any actions."
At least two more terrorists were discovered today at Pathankot air base in Punjab as security forces continued their operations for the second day with military casualties mounting to seven including a Lieutenant Colonel of the NSG who died.
