The Congress party has alleged that the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack was an intelligence and security failure for which Union Home Minister Amit Shah is responsible and he should own responsibility.
The party also observed that the country’s defence forces were one hundred percent successful but Prime Minister Narendra Modi “failed” as a leader.
“Operation Sindoor was a complete military success while Modi was a political failure,” All India Congress Committee ex-servicemen department chairperson Rohit Chaudhry said at a press conference, reported TI .
“We also request the government to tell the people how the Pahalgam attack happened and how we launched Operation Sindoor. I have never seen terrorists kill people one by one, find a safe route and then escape. This is a huge failure of security, a failure of the home ministry,” he said.
The Congress leaders maintained that Indian defence forces had attained complete superiority and dominance over Pakistan before the sudden “ceasefire” was announced by US President Donald Trump.
Referring to the Pahalgam attack, Chaudhry said Shah must own up the responsibility as there was complete intelligence and security failure, which directly comes under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
He pointed out that Shah had reviewed the security situation just two weeks before the attack and claimed everything was fine. He, however, added, PM Modi had reportedly cancelled his visit, apparently after some intelligence inputs.
He asked if they had got these inputs, why did they not take any precautionary measures
