Women’s Wing of Congress party makes insensitive remarks about Pulwama terror attack in a tweet, deletes later

Congress President Rahul Gandhi

The Official Twitter account of the All India Mahila Congress tweeted an image taking a dig at the Vande Bharat Express which can only be construed as a deplorable politicization of the heinous Pulwama Terrorist Attack. The tweet has since then been deleted.

The tweet by All India Mahila Congress says, “A reply to Pakistan derailed on second day. #VandeBharatExpress which was hailed as a befitting reply to terrorism broke down the second day. Maybe @PiyushGoyal would have focused more on training than posting fake videos #NoMo”.

At a time when the whole country is standing united with the Armed Forces and the Government at this moment of tragedy, the deplorable tweet by the women’s wing of the Congress party is extremely distasteful.

As we have reported earlier, reports of Vande Bharat Express breaking down was actually Fake News and in reality, the train was halted after it suffered a cattle hit. Even Divya Spandana, a close aide of Congress President Rahul Gandhi and the head of the party’s IT Cell, made very insensitive remarks regarding the terror attack.

The Congress party appears to be playing a ‘Good cop-Bad cop’ routine over the national tragedy. It doesn’t appear to truly appreciate the gravity of the matter. Even Rahul Gandhi was spotted fidgeting with his cell phone when senior politicians of the country had gathered to pay their respect to the fallen warriors.
