Speaking about the recce by Pakistan based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed of the RSS Headquarters in Nagpur, Congress Maharashtra chief Nana Patole on Saturday said that such an attack cannot happen in Maharashtra as the state police are competent.
While addressing a media here, the Congress chief said, " "Such an attack cannot happen in Maharashtra, the Police are competent."
Further speaking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi security lapse in Punjab, Patole said that PM Narendra Modi's security breach was wrong and questioned the last minute route change.
"India has lost two of its PMs due to such mistakes and Congress has understood the loss. PM's security breach was wrong. But as per the videos surfaced, why was his route changed at the last minute and how did BJP workers gather there?" said Congress Maharashtra chief.
