No lesson learnt from Pulwama: Congress slam Modi govt over Gadchiroli attack

NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel on Wednesday condemned the incident and slammed government saying that no lessons have been learnt from the Pulwama attack.

He has expressed grief over the Gadchiroli attack in which 15 police personnel and driver of the police vehicle were killed in a landmine blast triggered by Naxalites this afternoon.

“Once again the terrorists have targeted the convoy of our jawans, despite the tall talks no lessons seem to have been learnt from Pulwama. It is a wakeup call for the Central and State governments,” tweets Patel.

At least 16 people, including 15 commandos of the Maharashtra Police’s elite C-60 force, were killed in a landmine blast triggered by Naxalites in the Gadchiroli of Maharashtra on Wednesday afternoon.

Earlier, Naxals allegedly set ablaze 27 machines and vehicles at a road construction site in Kurkheda of Gadchiroli district.

On April 11, an encounter broke out between CRPF personnel and Naxals in the Naxal affected district of Gadchiroli.
