‘No clear strategy from govt’: Kharge slams Centre for delayed response on Pahalgam terror attack | India News
NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday directed his attack at the central government for not presenting a clear strategy to address the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, while reaffirming that the opposition stood united with the Centre on the issue.
“Even several days after the Pahalgam attack, no clear strategy from the govt on dealing with Pahalgam attack aftermath,” Kharge said during the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting.
The CWC also reiterated call for time-bound accountability over security and intelligence failures in the Valley.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah had called for retribution for the Pahalgam massacre, which occurred on April 22. The Centre has since taken several strong actions against Pakistan in response to the brutal incident in the Kashmir Valley.
Kharge on caste survey
During the CWC meeting at the party’s 24 Akbar Road office, Kharge also noted that while the government had agreed to the party’s demand for a caste survey, the timing of the decision “surprised us.”
“Rahul Gandhi has proved that if we raise people’s issues honestly, this stubborn govt has to bow down,” Kharge said at the meeting.
However, he expressed skepticism about the Centre’s true intentions and urged party leaders to remain vigilant in ensuring that the caste survey reaches a logical conclusion.
