'No info terrorists asked religion of Pahalgam victims,' says NCP-SP's Anil; BJP reacts
Anil Deshmukh, a former Maharashtra minister and senior leader of Sharad Pawar's wing of NCP, said there is no confirmed information that terrorists asked whether Pahalgam victims were Hindus or Muslims before shooting them. BJP's Shehzad Poonawalla called his statement disgusting. "First Robert Vadra...Now, Anil Deshmukh of NCP-SP gives clean chit to Islamic Jihad of Pakistan," he added.
