‘Where are the Pahalgam terrorists?’ asks Priyank Kharge demanding all-party meet on India-Pakistan ceasefire

Karnataka rural development and panchayat minister Priyank Kharge on Tuesday demanded to know where the four terrorists who killed 26 people disappeared. 

 

“Where did the four terrorists who sneaked into our territory and killed 26 people go? How did they enter our country? Are our borders so porous? Does Ajit Doval or Amit Shah have any idea where and how the terrorists escaped? If terrorists are freely walking in and walking out of India, it speaks volumes on the governance of the Modi government,” slammed Kharge, while speaking to reporters in Kalaburgi. 

 

Kharge also demanded to know why US President Donald Trump was taking credit for the “ceasefire” and Modi not refuting his claims.

 

“Trump is taking credit for the ceasefire and also saying it came through because of him offering good trade with the two countries. Was it an inducement to agree to a ceasefire? Why is he comparing India with Pakistan? Who is Donald Trump to announce the ceasefire?” mocked Kharge, demanding an all-party meeting to clear the air about the ceasefire and the circumstances that led to it.

 

Alleging that the Indian foreign policy had miserably failed, Kharge said, “America did not condemn the terrorists act. Both China and Turkey supported Pakistan. How did Pakistan manage to get one billion US dollars from the IMF? India failed to convince the IMF that Pakistan supported terrorism and hence it should not be given the loan. Also, today, the bilateral issue (of Kashmir) has become an international issue.”

 

Daring Modi to hold a press meet, Kharge said, “Modi so far has not faced a single press meet in the last 11 years and I don’t expect he would answer in the parliament either. He will only speak in Mann ki Baat, the monologues and give speeches from the Red Fort. The Congress party had extended full support to Operation Sindoor. Then, what happened? Why didn’t the BJP government make their dream of ‘Akhand Bharat’ come true? Modi is only chest thumping instead of having a serious press meet.”

 

Earlier, the RDPR minister had remarked that the Indian soldiers had destroyed the terrorist hideouts. However, the Centre disappointed both the Army and the citizens with its decision on ceasefire.

 

“The PM, EAM and NSA should tell the truth about the ceasefire to the people of India. The PM should call a special Parliament session immediately,” he added.
