Shocked Modi held conference with BJP workers while our pilot was in Pak custody: Scindia

Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia on Friday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for holding conference with BJP's poll booth workers when the Air Force pilot was still in Pakistan's custody.

"I was shocked. You have conducted a successful strike. We congratulated our jawas and pilots. One of our brave hero shot down an F-16, then he gets shot down in Pakistani airspace. He has been held captive by Pakistan and you are holding a conference with poll booth workers of the BJP," Jyotiraditya Scindia said.

Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot also present at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi said the PM should have addressed the nation.

"The Prime Minister should have led from the front. He should have called an all-party meet. Let the country see all parties are united and under one leader i.e. the Prime Minister," he said.
