Bhubaneswar: The BJP MP, Sambit Patra, on Saturday claimed the previous UPA government at the Centre did not take action against Pakistan after the 26/11 attack under “foreign pressure”. Addressing a press conference in Bhubaneswar, he said that before 2014, the Indian armed forces had the valour, but the country’s leadership lacked the political will to act against Pakistan. “Before 2014, the Indian armed forces had the valour, but the country’s leadership lacked the political will. This changed after 2014 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the nation got a strong armed force and a strong political will,” he said. Patra also claimed that former foreign minister Natwar Singh, in his autobiography, wrote that the UPA government used to pick Cabinet ministers after consulting the US.
