[<<“The Pulwama attack took place at 3.10pm. We (the Congress) want to ask the Prime Minister what he was doing between 3.10pm and 5.10pm? The reason why this question is important is because at 5.10pm, the Prime Minister addressed a rally on his mobile phone. He didn’t utter a word on the Pulwama attack,” Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari said at a news conference. The party played a video clip of news of the public rally that was shown on Doordarshan on February 14. “You can see people are shouting slogans and jumping up and down in joy as the Prime Minister addresses the rally. The Prime Minister could have condemned the attack, observed two minutes’ silence to pay tribute to our soldiers. At 5.10pm, he would have known of the attack. That’s why the question: What was the Prime Minister doing between 3.10pm and 5.10pm?” Tewari said.>>
(Excerpted from the write-up reproduced below.) The clinching evidence: <<There's a news plant which says PM Modi was informed 30 min late about the terrorist attack on Pulwama. Here is a news clip from a @DDNewsLive broadcast that shows him addressing a rally at 5.10 PM. A full THREE hours after the attack. Note the ticker... #FarziChowkidar #DaroMat>> at <https://twitter.com/chirag/status/1098787667255296000/video/1> (In a live transmission of the speech, the ticker is announcing the Pulwama tragedy, since before the speech commences. Yet, the Prime Minister is silent. Also, the response from the audience and from the dais.) Also noteworthy: I. <<While it is not clear whether the Discovery shoot occurred before or after he would have been informed, it is a matter of record that he addressed a public rally in Rudrapur, some 85 kms away, by telephone from Corbett at 5:10 pm. In that speech, he made no mention of the Pulwama attack, even though in every speech he has made since then, Pulwama figures prominently. ... Playing a Doordarshan clip of the Rudrapur speech, (Manish) Tewari said the prime minister did not mention Pulwama even once in his speech. Nor did he ask the jubilant crowd to observe silence. This, despite the fact that the channel was running a simultaneous ticker that said “10 soldier or 10 CRPF Jawans have died in Pulwama”. Congress’s posers This raises two very important questions, Tewari said. 1. Was the PM aware of the attack and yet continued with his photo shoot, “posing as commander Corbett?” Tewari said “if he was aware” and chose not to interrupt his schedule, “there can be no greater insensitivity.” “He has his lunch, shoots some photographs of some wildlife on his mobile phone and life is absolutely normal for him, while 40 jawans have laid down their lives in one of the most heinous terror attacks the country has seen,” Tewari said. 2. “Between 03:10 pm and 05:10 pm, was the Prime Minister of India unaware that a terror attack had taken place in Pulwama?” He said that “the second scenario is far more frightening” and “is a cause of concern.” He added if he was actually not aware, as some channels reported soon after the Congress’s allegations, then it points to a grave crisis in the “command and control systems in the highest echelons of the Indian state.” ... ***“We are a nuclear state and if there is a breakdown in communication between the prime minister and his office, it has very portentous implications. That is why, this nation must know from the mouth of the prime minister, who otherwise speaks nonstop 24X7, that Mr. Prime Minister what were you doing between 03:10 pm in the afternoon and 05:10 pm in the afternoon,” the Congress leader asked, alleging “incompetence” on the part of the Modi government.*** [Emphasis added.]>> (Ref.: <https://thewire.in/politics/modi-pulwama-documentary-congress/amp/?fbclid=IwAR2Dpwlhkfz5aEdfpxU_3JyIshtoq44bn50MH9f_PIoKEIaLb53i3iyt7PA#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s>.) II. <<Of course, this suggestion (that the NSA delayed in informing) is a bigger scandal than Modi simply being insensitive in the face of a major tragedy: if bad weather or poor mobile-phone network can prevent information reaching India’s prime minister while he is on a scheduled trip, that raises bigger questions about the state of the country’s security apparatus.>> (Ref,: <https://scroll.in/article/914174/did-modi-continue-shooting-a-documentary-after-pulwama-attacks-or-did-doval-fail-to-inform-him?fbclid=IwAR2Oy78TN1qEoFJBBUG_xoTHWzRxh2cBLQ1YxjoGBJshzH1BObCBjHYxcHQ>.)

By Our Special Correspondent in New Delhi Published 23.02.19, 3:21 AMUpdated 23.02.19, 10:45 AM 2 mins read Prime Minister Narendra Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi (Prem Singh) The Congress on Friday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to himself tell the nation what he was doing between 3.10pm and 5.10pm on February 14 when the Pulwama attack took place. “The Pulwama attack took place at 3.10pm. We want to ask the Prime Minister what he was doing between 3.10pm and 5.10pm? The reason why this question is important is because at 5.10pm, the Prime Minister addressed a rally on his mobile phone. He didn’t utter a word on the Pulwama attack,” Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari said at a news conference. The party played a video clip of news of the public rally that was shown on Doordarshan on February 14. “You can see people are shouting slogans and jumping up and down in joy as the Prime Minister addresses the rally. The Prime Minister could have condemned the attack, observed two minutes’ silence to pay tribute to our soldiers. At 5.10pm, he would have known of the attack. That’s why the question: What was the Prime Minister doing between 3.10pm and 5.10pm?” Tewari said. The Congress leadership has decided to pursue this matter with full force and party president Rahul Gandhi is expected to harp on the Prime Minister’s “insensitivity” and “incompetence” in the coming days. Rahul tweeted in Hindi on Friday: “The Prime Time Minister kept shooting for a film for three hours after news of the martyrdom of 40 soldiers in Pulwama came. A river of pain erupted in the heart of the country and the homes of martyrs, but he was gleefully in the river for a photoshoot.” A river of pain erupted in the heart of the country and the homes of martyrs, but he (Modi) was gleefully in the river for a photoshoot. Rahul Gandhi At the news conference, Tewari said: “This raises two questions: One, was the Prime Minister aware of the attack and continued with his photoshoot? If yes, there can be no greater insensitivity than this. Then at 5.10pm, he deliberately chooses not to mention a word about the attack. The Prime Minister continues to be Commander Corbett. He has his lunch, shoots some photographs of wild life on his mobile phone and life is absolutely normal for him, while 40 jawans have laid down their lives in one of the most heinous terror attacks the country has seen.” The Congress spokesperson continued: “The second scenario is even far more frightening. Was it that between 3.10pm and 5.10pm, Modiji was unaware of the terror attack? The PMO did not inform him or he was incommunicado? What does it speak about command and control systems in the highest echelons of the Indian state? We are a nuclear state and if there is a breakdown in communication between the PM and his office, it has very portentous implications.” Party veteran Ahmed Patel iterated this through a tweet: “It is a matter of grave concern that the Prime Minister was incommunicado at the time of an attack on the nation’s sovereignty.” Tewari said the Prime Minister’s response betrayed either incompetence or insensitivity, and insisted: “The nation must know from the mouth of the Prime Minister, who otherwise speaks non-stop, ‘what were you doing between 3.10pm and 5.10pm?’ If you knew, why didn’t you mention it at the rally? If you didn’t, can there be greater incompetence?” The Congress spokesperson also confronted BJP chief Amit Shah for saying that they don’t need to learn nationalism from the Congress. “Does the BJP have monopoly over nationalism?… Is asking tough questions about how so many soldiers died anti-national?” he asked. The Congress will be happy to debate on terrorism, given the BJP’s track record: Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar was freed by a BJP government and the Parliament attack happened during its rule.
