In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge has raised questions over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s actions after receiving an intelligence warning. According to reports, intelligence agencies had alerted Modi about a potential terror threat in Kashmir just three days before the attack. Despite this, Modi went ahead and canceled his scheduled visit to the region, citing security concerns.
Kharge, in a statement, questioned the lack of enhanced security measures in Kashmir after the intelligence alert. “While Modi ensured his own protection by canceling the visit, why wasn’t the security for ordinary citizens in Kashmir strengthened?” he asked.
The Pahalgam attack, which took place after Modi’s canceled visit, has sparked a nationwide debate about the government’s preparedness in securing the region. Kharge’s comments have added fuel to the ongoing discussion about the priorities of the central government in the face of rising security challenges in sensitive areas like Kashmir.
The incident has prompted calls for greater transparency and accountability in handling security issues, especially after advanced warnings. The Congress leader’s criticism echoes concerns raised by several political leaders and experts about the adequacy of the government’s response to such threats.
As the investigation into the attack continues, the opposition has been demanding answers regarding the measures taken to safeguard both political leaders and the public in the region.
