Rahul Gandhi said PM Modi can act in a timeframe he thinks necessary but also added that the Prime Minister has to act soon.
“I am saying that 28 people have been killed in cold blood. It is pretty clear who is responsible for this. The people who are responsible for this must pay a price. The PM has to take action. The action has to be clear and it has to be strong without any confusion. The PM must not dilly-dally, must not waste time, must make it very clear that India is not going to tolerate this type of nonsense. So, he needs to act…He can act in whatever timeframe he thinks necessary but he has to act soon,” the Congress leader said.
