New Delhi: Happymon Jacob speaks with Manish Tewari (former Union minister) about the political aftermath of the Pulwama terrorist attack. Tewari comments on the response of the BJP-led NDA government to the attacks and refutes charges of playing politics over the attack, as the Congress has been accused of by the BJP.

Tewari argues that raising questions after any such attack is the constitutional role of the opposition and this should not be presented as being ‘anti-national’. Further, he responds to Pakistan’s requests for enough evidence to act against Jaish-E-Mohammed and comments on the political reasons of how such an attack took place.
