Match-fixing between PM Modi and Pakistan: Congress' BK Hariprasad on Pulwama attack
Post Pulwama attack, the political commentary and rhetoric by the leaders has still not been laid to rest as Congress lawmaker BK Hariprasad has courted controversy by claiming that their was a “match-fixing between PM Narendra Modi and Pakistan.”
Reacting to Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad’s dig at Congress president Rahul Gandhi over the “stolen Rafale papers,” MP BK Hariprasad said, “(Union Minister) Ravi Shankar Prasad should clarify whether there is any match-fixing between Pakistan and Narendra Modi. Without their knowledge this Pulwama incident should not have taken place. If you look at the chain of events that has taken place after Pulwama, it looks like Narendra Modi had a match-fixing with the people of Pakistan.”

Although, Congress has been under severe criticism after senior leader Digvijay Singh’s remark over the Pulwama attack, when he termed as an “accident.”
Hariprasad, a parliamentarian from Karnataka, criticised BJP government for intelligence failure and added, “The government of Jammu and Kashmir has openly admitted that it's a total failure of intelligence that has resulted in Pulwama. They can detect beef in... Kerala House but they can't detect RDX on a sensitive National Highway. It shows it's a total failure of Narendra Modi's government.”
