Rahul Gandhi targets NIA over Davinder Singh's arrest, tweets wrong name of its chief

A day after former Congress president Rahul Gandhi attempted to politicise the arrest of Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Superintendent of Police (Dy SP) Davinder Singh, giving a clean chit to Pakistan over the Pulwama terror attack, he has now questioned the NIA. Taking to Twitter on Friday, he has claimed that the "best way to silence" a matter is to hand it to the NIA. Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi has added that NIA is headed by "another Modi." However, in a massive goof-up - he has misspelt the initials of the NIA chief. While he has written it as "YK", the name The DG of NIA is Yogesh Chander Modi (YC Modi). He has also said that under YC Modi - the case is "as good as dead" because he is the one who investigated Gujarat Riots and Haren Pandya's assassination. He has reiterated the questions he raised the previous day - "Who wants to silence terrorist Davinder and who?" The best way to silence Terrorist DSP Davinder, is to hand the case to the NIA. The NIA is headed by another Modi - YK, who investigated the Gujarat Riots & Haren Pandya’s assassination. In YK’s care, the case is as good as dead. #WhoWantsTerroristDavinderSilenced And why?? — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) January 17, 2020 Rahul Gandhi breaks silence on J&K DySP Davinder Singh's arrest, toes Pakistan's line Rahul targets PM, HM NSA Breaking his silence on Thursday, Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter and said that Singh should be tried in a fast track court and if he is found guilty, he must be given "harshest possible sentence." The Gandhi family scion also claimed that he should be charged with treason. However, sharing a poster, Rahul Gandhi has asked why the Central government is silent on the matter. He has also similarly attempted to absolve Pakistan of the Pulwama terror attack by seeking details of the DySP's 'role'. He has questioned the Prime Minister, Home Minister and the National Security Advisor and claimed that they are maintaining a silence over the issue. DSP Davinder Singh sheltered 3 terrorists with 🇮🇳 blood on their hands at his home & was caught ferrying them to Delhi. He must be tried by a fast track court within 6 months & if guilty, given the harshest possible sentence for treason against 🇮🇳.#TerroristDavinderCoverUp pic.twitter.com/gc2BlhBOwM — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) January 16, 2020 READ: BJP slams Cong's religious spin on J&K DySP, asks 'what's your Pak-Pulwama attack doubt?'
