Rahul Gandhi speaks with HM Shah, J&K CM

New Delhi: Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi said on Wednesday that he had spoken with Home Minister Amit Shah, Jamu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Congress President Tariq Karra about the horrific Pahargam terrorist attacks to get the latest news on the situation to understand the situation.

“Talk to HM Amit Shah, J&K CM Omar Abdullah and J&K PCC President Tariq Karra on the horrible Pahalgam terrorist attack.

He said the families of victims deserve justice and our greatest support.

Congress on Tuesday called the government responsible for the terrorist attacks in Jamu and Kashmir, rather than making “hollow claims” for the situation on the coalition territory, and demanded a party meeting to bring confidence to the party.

The opposition condemned the terrorist attacks as a stain on humanity and said it should not be answered “effectively.”

Officials said terrorists attacked Pahargam’s main tourist location in southern South Kashmir on Tuesday, killing at least 26 people and injuring several others.

Officials said the 26 dead included two foreigners – from the UAE and Nepal – and two locals.

Jamu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah described the terrorist attack as “we have been much bigger to anyone who has been civilians in recent years”.

Opposition leaders of Lok Sabha Gandhi said the news of tourists being killed and injured in the timid terrorist attacks of Pahalgam was extremely condemned and heartbreaking.

“I express my heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased and hope for the quick recovery of the injury,” he said.

“The whole country is united against terrorism. The government should now take responsibility and take concrete measures so that such a barbaric event will not happen in the future, and innocent Indians will not lose such lives.”
