"This is the place where 40 CRPF jawans were blown up and martyred. Today, the entire nation is in tears because former governor Satyapal Malik has revealed that the government did not provide them aircraft to travel. If the aircraft had been provided, the jawans would not have been martyred," he said.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the home minister, defence minister and the entire government should apologise to the nation for the lapses which led to the Pulwama blast in which 40 CRPF jawans were martyred," Wani told reporters at Lethpora.
