Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Friday, February 22 condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi for continuing to shoot the BBC documentary film in Jim Corbett national park for hours after the Pulwama terror attack had been reported on February 14.
The CPI(M) leader remarked that India has never seen a Prime Minister with such an attitude before. He also referred to the attacks on Kashmiri students by right-wing organisations across India, adding that PM Modi’s “minions attack others when Modi himself kept on shooting a PR film for a private TV channel at a resort as our soldiers died.”
Never in the history of independent India have we seen such an attitude from someone occupying the chair of the Prime Minister. His minions attack others when Modi himself kept on shooting a PR film for a private TV channel at a resort as our soldiers died. pic.twitter.com/K7js8ApHQx

Earlier, Congress President Rahul Gandhi had hit-out at the PM, referring to him as the “Prime Time Minister” for shooting the film as the nation was mourning the death of the CRPF jawans.
