Gujarat BJP MLA says to avenge Pulwama by carrying out attack in Pakistan

Controversial Gujarat BJP MLA Madhu Srivastava said Saturday that he was ready to carry out an attack in Pakistan to avenge the Pulwama terror strike by a JeM suicide bomber. Srivastava, the six-time MLA from Vaghodia in

Vadodara district, said he was ready to sacrifice his life as legislators are "representatives of the country".

"If they can kill 45, I have the courage to kill 500. If the government instructs me and gives me arms and ammunition, I am ready to take revenge. I will crash my plane (there)," the MLA told reporters in Vadodara. Srivastava has acted in a few Gujarati films.

Forty CRPF personnel were killed when a suicide bomber rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into a bus ferrying them in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir on February 14. The Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed claimed responsibility for the attack.
