Tue May 06 16:25:58 UTC 2025: **BJP Demands Apology from Congress President Over Pahalgam Terror Attack Remarks**
NEW DELHI (May 6, 2025) – The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a strong attack on Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge today, demanding an unconditional apology for his comments regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cancelled visit to Pahalgam shortly before a terror attack. Kharge alleged that the Prime Minister cancelled his visit due to an intelligence report.
BJP leaders denounced Kharge’s statements as irresponsible and damaging to national security. MP Ravi Shankar Prasad called the allegations baseless and unfortunate, while spokesperson C.R. Kesavan likened Kharge to the historical figure Mir Jafar, accusing him of treachery. Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla went further, alleging that the Congress is creating content beneficial to Pakistan and engaging in vote-bank politics at the expense of national security. This follows a series of similar accusations against other Congress leaders, including Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi.
The BJP accuses the Congress of consistently undermining the Indian defense forces and weakening national security. The escalating war of words highlights the sharp political divide over national security, with the BJP demanding accountability and an apology from the Congress party.
