In a statement stoking massive controversy, Congress leader BK Hariprasad on Thursday alleged that the Pulwama terror attack took place because of a ‘match-fixing’ between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pakistan.
On February 14, 40 CRPF personnel were killed after a suicide attack by a terrorist in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir.

Speaking to reporters, Hariprasad asked that Union Minister and senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad should clarify whether there is any match-fixing between Pakistan and PM Modi.
“Ravi Shankar Prasad should clarify whether there is any match-fixing between Pakistan and PM Narendra Modi. Or else without their knowledge, the Pulwama attack would not have taken place,” said Hariprasad.
“People who talk about the security of the nation, they can detect two kg of beef from Akhlaq’s house, they can detect two kg of beef in Kerala guest house, they can’t detect 350 kg of RDX on the national highway. It’s a shame on them,” he said.
Hariprasad’s comments came while reacting to union law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad’s attack on Congress president Rahul Gandhi on the “stolen” Rafale papers.
Earlier in the day, Gandhi asked why a probe cannot be ordered against Modi for a “Rs 30,000-crore scam” when an investigation has been initiated into the theft of official documents related to the fighter jet deal.
Hitting back, Prasad said: “I totally condemn blatant lies of Rahul Gandhi. He does not believe the Indian Air Force, does not trust the Supreme Court verdict that clearly said there is no commercial impropriety in the (Rafale) procurement process. He does not believe the CAG.”
