Lucknow,

06 May (HS): SP head Akhilesh Yadav criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah on

Wednesday for the Punjab twin bombings, saying he should be held accountable

for the crimes. Yadav's comments came only hours after Punjab Chief Minister

Bhagwant Mann sparked a political firestorm by accusing the BJP for the blasts.

Speaking to reporters, Yadav stated, If a blast occurs, who should be

held accountable? It should be the country's home minister. The former

Uttar Pradesh chief minister also stated that the investigation into the Punjab

twin bombings will suffer the same fate as Pulwama and Pahalgam, alleging that

it was never known how they occurred.

And

you'll never find out what happened during the explosion. Did you learn about

Pulwama or Pahalgam? If you didn't know about Pulwama and Pahalgam, you wouldn't

know about the Punjab bombs, he claimed. On Tuesday night, explosions rang out

outside the BSF's Punjab Frontier headquarters in Jalandhar around 8 p.m.,

followed by another outside the Army cantonment area in Khasa, Amritsar, about

11 p.m. According to Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav, the explosion was of mild

intensity, and no casualties were recorded. While no organization has claimed

credit, the DGP suspects that Pakistan's ISI is behind the attack.
