Pahalgam happened after the riots in Delhi, but the Home Minister did not resign - Priyanka

During the discussion on 'Operation Sindoor' in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi raised questions about the Pahalgam terror attack. She said that Defense Minister Rajnath Singh talked about terrorism, national security and history in his speech, but did not tell how the attack happened in Pahalgam?

Paying tribute to the bravery of the army, Priyanka Gandhi said that from the first intrusion of Pakistan in 1948 till now, our army has made an unprecedented contribution in maintaining the integrity of the country. She said, 'The ministers spoke on all aspects, also narrated the history, but the most important question was left out that how and why did the attack happen in Pahalgam?'

People had gone there trusting the government - Priyanka

During this, the Wayanad MP also mentioned the wife of martyr Shubham Dwivedi and said, 'People had gone there trusting the government, but the government left them at the mercy of God. Who is responsible for the attack? Isn't the safety of citizens the responsibility of the Defense Minister and the Home Minister?'

Referring to the establishment of the terrorist organization TRF, its activities and the charges of terrorism against it, Priyanka Gandhi said, 'If any agency of the government did not even get a hint of this horrific attack, then it is a serious intelligence failure.'

When Gaurav Gogoi was speaking, the Home Minister was laughing - Priyanka Gandhi

She called it a big lapse of the security agencies and said that the government will have to answer why and how such incidents are happening. Priyanka said, 'You keep talking about history, I will talk about the present. You have been in power for the last 11 years. Yesterday when Gaurav Gogoi talked about fixing responsibility, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh was looking serious, but Home Minister Amit Shah was laughing.'

Pointing to the Mumbai attack, she said, 'They alleged that the Manmohan government did nothing after 26/11, while the truth is that during the attack itself three terrorists were killed, one was caught alive who was later hanged. At that time, both the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and the Home Minister of the country had resigned.

Pahalgam happened after the riots in Delhi, but the Home Minister did not resign - Priyanka

Priyanka said, 'Rajnath Singh was the Home Minister at the time of Uri and Pulwama attacks and today he is the Defense Minister. Manipur is burning during Amit Shah's tenure, riots happened in Delhi and now the Pahalgam attack happened, yet why is he still the Home Minister? The country wants to know this.'

She said that after the Pahalgam attack, the whole country stood united and if such an attack happens again, the country will unite again. If the country is attacked, we will stand with the government, but will also ask questions.
