Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Wednesday said sending NSG commandos to Pathankot airforce base was a "serious lapse" and questioned the role of NSA Ajit Doval in the decision even as he denounced Narendra Modi's recent Lahore visit, saying it was unbecoming of a Prime Minister.
It was a 'serious lapse' to deploy National Security Guards in the counter operation, Singh told reporters here.
"The role of Ajit Doval, the NSA, has been questioned too. When there was an Army unit close by, they could have easily taken on the terrorists. The National Security Adviser chose to send NSG which is not trained to handle such situations. This is another serious lapse on the part of the government," he said.
