During the discussion on ‘Operation Sindoor’ in the Rajya Sabha, Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s surprise Pakistan visit to Pakistan. He said that we have been condemning Pakistan, but we condemn here and you go and embrace them in their feast. You make mistakes yourself and teach lessons to others. This should not be done. Our party has a big contribution in the development of the country, but you do not have any such achievement. You curse Pandit Nehru a lot. Tell the truth The Home Minister had gone to review the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir before the Pahalgam attack and said that the security in Kashmir has been tripped, if this is the case then where did the terrorists come from?
He said that just three days before the attack, the Prime Minister had canceled his Kashmir tour. I had asked earlier too, but did not get the answer that you had information about the terrorist attack? There was an attack in Pahalgam on 22 April 2025, but the government is saying that what we did correctly. Rahul Gandhi demanded a special session for the Pahalgam attack, but the government did not respond.
Kharge said that the government has a lot of ego. There is no time to answer, but people have time to hug. When the Indo-China war was going on in 1962, a special session was called on the demand of a few MPs. The then Prime Minister called and said that the people of the country should know this, but now you refuse. After the attack, the Prime Minister was campaigning in Bihar. On April 24, the government called an all -party meeting, PM Modi did not come in it and came from Saudi Arabia and went to campaign for Bihar. Is this the seriousness of the Prime Minister?
Kharge said that LG of Jammu and Kashmir himself admitted that there was a default in security in Pahalgam. He took responsibility for the attack, but it is a default in security and the Home Minister should take it and not LG. You keep cursing the Congress, but tell me something, how long will you be alive in the name of Congress. If LG took responsibility for the Pahalgam attack, was it given to save the Home Minister. Or LG was given to do so?
Kharge further said, ‘After the Pahalgam attack, everyone supported the army. We decided in the meeting of the Congress Working Committee that this is not the time to do politics and it is time to show solidarity. We supported the government. We supported the government at every step in the national interest, but the Prime Minister walks in an election speech against the opposition parties. In just four days Pakistani firing, 27 Indian citizens, including 5 children and 70 injured, could be sent to safe places, but the government did not pay attention or else they could be saved. After that, a BJP Rajya Sabha MP said that those who were killed in the Pahalgam attack, their wives did not have the same feeling in the heroes, so she was folding her hands and was pleading. This is respect for your women. Take out such people and take them out. This causes infamy. ‘
He said that on the derogatory remarks of a Madhya Pradesh leader about the female officer of the Indian Army, Kharge said that such statements should be condemned. Until you control your people, then there is a response from the other side, then these people call them traitors. For example, only they have the contract for patriotism. The Supreme Court condemned the statement of that minister, will BJP take out such people out of the party.
