New Delhi, Feb 21 (IBNS): Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Pulwama attack incident, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said the Indian government has denied giving those killed in the incident the status of 'shaheed'.

" The brave are martyred. Their families struggle.40 Jawans give their lives but are denied the status of “Shaheed”. While this man has never given & only taken. He’s gifted 30,000Cr of their money & will live happily ever after. Welcome to Modi’s NEW INDIA," Gandhi tweeted.

A terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama area on Feb 14 left 40 Indian CRPF jawans killed.

The incident was condemned by Indian politicians and even several other countries.

India blamed Pakistan to be behind the incident.

Following the attack, India withdrew the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) Status of Pakistan.

On Saturday, India hiked customs duty on all goods exported from the neighbouring nation to 200 per cent with an immediate effect.
