Attack at 3.15 pm. News around 4pm.
RepublicTV reported 18 casualties, NDTV 12, around 5pm.
Opp leaders like AK had tweeted a condemnation at 5.11pm
PM who was supposed to address a rally at Rudrapur had cancelled it due to weather (not attack) & spoke over phone after 5pm.

Even if there had been a delay in informing the PM about the attack. After 5 pm, the phone was working when PM gave the speech. Surely the PM who was angry & upset by now, could have talked about martyrs, especially when he cld speak so much about schemes

So why didn't PM mention the attack at his rally, 2 hours after it occurred?
Increasing terror attacks in J&K had become normal?
10-18 martyrs wasn't big enough for him for a speech?
He didn't want to spoil the Schemes narrative by mourning?

Why would PM worry about mourning or condemning when he has sources. Sources who claim the rally was cancelled due to attack, even when PM said at his speech that it was cancelled due to weather! Or that he was uninformed even when he had used phone for a rally!

A terror attack? Ignore it. Numbers are big? Let news channels blame "Lobby' & question RG. Let there be fake videos of PG smiling & a pic of RG with terrorist. BJP4India merely RTed Amit Shah' & PM's tweet, didn't even tweet a condemnation! But live tweeted Shah's speech!!

And did the campaigning stop after PM's tweet at 6.46pm? NO! Did anyone in MSM point it out? NO!
Can you imagine MMS or any other PM getting away with not mourning a terror attack which killed 44 CRPF jawans? NO.
See, Namumkin, abhi mumkin
