West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday said the terror attack in J&K on a CRPF was due to “intelligence failure” and demanded that there be three-day nationwide mourning to show respect to the martyrs.
She questioned why the Centre was not declaring national mourning for the CRPF jawans and said “Will mourning take place only when political leaders die?” “I demand 72 hours mourning for the ultimate sacrifice of the soldiers. At least for national respect. Only one flag is not enough for it,” she told reporters after returning from New Delhi.
Banerjee said that the Government as well as all the political parties should put a stop to all scheduled programme in view of the terror attack.
