On Monday night, in a series of tweets following Amarnath terror attack, Gandhi had said, “This is a grave and unacceptable security lapse. The prime minister needs to accept responsibility and never allow it to happen again… India will never be intimidated by these terrorist cowards.” [caption id=“attachment_3398718” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] File image of Rahul Gandhi.

Later on Tuesday, the
BJP asked Gandhi to “rise to the occasion” and not do politics over the Amarnath terror strike after he attacked Modi over the “grave and unacceptable security lapse”. “I will wish him to look into the pages of history of his own party and how there have been unanimity on these occasions,” Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
