RANCHI: Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi , the Union minister of state for parliamentary and minority affairs, on Tuesday criticized Congress party for making ‘irresponsible’ statements on national security post terror attack at the Pathankot air force base.Naqvi, who was on a two-day visit to Ranchi Lok Sabha constituency for pre-financial budget discussions, said every alternate Congress leader has become ‘international experts of national security’ and issuing irresponsible comments on the terror attack which occurred early this month.“Congress leaders are issuing meaningless statements on the modus operandi of security forces. Had this been done, the attack would not have happened, they should have done this and so forth,” Naqvi said while speaking to media personnel at BJP state headquarters. “National security is a sensitive issue and should be left to the able hands of security forces and agencies,” he said.Naqvi’s comments come one day after Congress asked national security advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval to end suspense on the proposed foreign secretary level talks with Pakistan. “At a time when India is united against the terror act, Congress is engaged in a political campaign to confuse people,” he said.Speaking on the issue further, Naqvi said India's approach in countering terrorism has alienated terror groups over the last 19 months since Narendra Modi government came to power.
