Mallikarjun Kharge alleges Narendra Modi cancelled his Kashmir visit “Three days before” the Pahalgam attack
Prime Minister Narendra Modi canceled his plan to visit Kashmir three days before the Pahalgam terror attack after receiving intelligence input about the possibility of a terror attack, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge alleged on Tuesday.
Addressing a 'Samvidhan Bachao' rally in Jharkhand, Mallikarjun Kharge questioned how the government handled the matter of the April 22 attack that claimed 26 lives.
“I have received information that three days before the attack, an intelligence report was sent to Prime Minister Modi, and based on that, he canceled his program to visit Kashmir. I also read this in a newspaper,” Kharge alleged.The veteran leader Speaking about the intelligence failure, he said, “A major terrorist attack took place in the country on April 22, in which 26 people were killed. There was an intelligence failure; the government has acknowledged it and said they will resolve it. But if they were aware of it, why wasn’t anything done?”
He reiterated the opposition’s support for the government in whatever “strong decisions” the center takes against Pakistan in the “fight against terrorism.”
“The country comes first; everything else is secondary. We have made sacrifices for this nation,” Kharge said.
Reacting to Kharge’s statement, BJP leader CR Kesavan called his remarks “treacherous” and compared him to “modern-day Mir Jaffar.”
“He has made treacherous statements similar to a modern-day Mir Jaffar. His toxic, baseless, and unfounded rant against the Prime Minister is most deplorable and condemnable, and Mr. Kharge's remarks are unpardonable, indefensible, and cannot be forgiven,” BJP leader CR Kesavan said.
He demanded an unconditional apology from Kharge and said the Congress President should “come clear on what kind of inputs he received to make such outrageous remarks.”
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement comes in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 25 tourists and one local Kashmiri pony ride operator. The attack took place at the meadows of Baisaran, which are inaccessible by vehicles. There was no security presence when the attack occurred, and about 2,000 tourists were present at the time of the attack, according to reports.
