Sinha's tweet comes amid allegations by the Congress saying that the Prime Minister was busy shooting for a Discovery Channel documentary at Jim Corbett on February 14 when the Pulwama attack happened, in which over 40 CRPF jawans were martyred. The Congress has claimed that the PM didn't respond promptly to the reports of the attack. PM Narendra Modi Skipped Food Post Pulwama Attack, Claims Report.

Congress President Rahul Gandhi today took a stinging jibe at Modi, calling him 'Primetime Minister'. Gandhi said that Modi was busy in a "film shooting" despite being informed about the martyrdom of 40 CRPF jawans.

On the other, the BJP has accused Gandhi of spreading 'fake news'. Some reports quoting sources also said that the Prime Minister "didn't eat anything" and travelled "by road" as soon as he got the news about the Pulwama attack.
