New Delhi: All political programmes of BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah, scheduled for Friday have been cancelled following the terror attack on CRPF personnel in Kashmir.
This came after BJP leaders including Modi and Shah were widely criticised for continuing to give political speeches in the wake of the national tragedy.
यह संवेदनहीनता की हद है। आज कम से कम रैली से परहेज करनी चाहये सत्तारूढ़ पार्टी को। https://t.co/ZkKpHEupHD

Dear @narendramodi. Instead of visiting MP today to address two rallies you should be here in your constituency and comforting families. It would be a far more sensitive thing to do. https://t.co/o0s8azdFWf

At least 37 CRPF personnel were killed and five injured on Thursday in one of the deadliest terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir when a Jaish suicide bomber rammed a vehicle carrying over 100 kg of explosives into their bus in Pulwama district.
Top BJP leaders, including Modi and Shah, have been holding rallies and other political programmes in the run up to the Lok Sabha polls.
