PM Modi won't take action against Pakistan for Pulwama attack: Hardik Patel

LUCKNOW: Amid growing public anger against Pakistan in the wake of Pulwama attack, Patidar leader Hardik Patel alleged that PM Narendra Modi would never teach a lesson to the neighbouring country since there is gross difference between what he says and actually does.

Addressing a press conference in Sultanpur on Wednesday, Patel said, "I can say with confidence that PM Modi is not in mood to give a befitting reply to Pakistan because there is a big difference in his thinking, policy and ideologies," Patel said. "When intelligence agencies had alerted that a big incident could happen in Jammu and Kashmir, then why were the CRPF personnel sent via road," he said. Patel later visited the state capital and attended an event. Speaking to TOI, the Patidar leader said that only good intention can lead to good policies and subsequent development of the country. Patel has been making regular trips to the state amid strong speculations of his political foray in Lok Sabha elections due in next few months.

Patel said that the idea is to awaken the intellectual class of the society which can play a crucial role in nation building. "I will be making regular trips to the state for this cause," he said.
