Stepping up his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday accused him of pursuing policies that created space for terrorists in Kashmir.

The Congress vice president had yesterday termed the attack on Amarnath pilgrims as a “grave and unacceptable security lapse” and asked the prime minister to accept responsibility.
He had also said that India will never be intimidated by terrorists.

“The government needs to introspect as to why, despite advanced intelligence inputs, was there a failure to prevent this attack?” a resolution passed by 18 opposition parties said.
