A day after India blamed Pakistan for rumours and SMSes that forced thousands of northeast citizens to flee other states, BJP yesterday slammed the government for intelligence failure.

BJP leader Yashwant Sinha also slammed Assam CM Tarun Gogoi, who has claimed he always suspected foreign hand in the incidents. Sinha questioned Gogoi’s inaction. “The Assam chief minister said he always felt there is Pakistan’s hand in the incidents. A Congress chief minister is saying this, it’s clearly an intelligence failure,” Sinha said.
