However, on Sunday Rahul Gandhi in a tweet, cornered PM Modi over Pulwama attack and asked him to inform 40 CRPF martyrs families about who released their murderer, Masood Azhar.
However, Government sources refuted Rahul Gandhi's claim that NSA Ajit Doval had taken Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar to Afghanistan.
Let us tell you, in 1999, Indian Airlines flight IC 814, with 176 passengers and 15 crew members on board, was hijacked by terrorists from Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, a Pakistan-based terror group primarily active in Kashmir. The group also got tacit support of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Gandhi alleged that NSA Ajit Doval went to Kandahar to hand over "murderer" Azhar. Azhar, along with some other terrorists. The plane hijack was taken to secure the release of terrorist Masood Azhar and two others.
