New Delhi [India], July 28 (ANI): BJP MP Deepak Prakash on Monday sharply criticised senior Congress leader P Chidambaram over his comment that there is no proof that the Pahalgam attackers came from Pakistan, saying that the people of the country will never forgive such Congress leaders.
Speaking to ANI, Deepak Prakash said, It is clear now that Congress is with traitors (Congress ka haath, deshdrohiyon ke saath)... The people of India will never forgive such Congress leaders and the party.
His comments come in the wake of a political storm over statements made by Chidambaram ahead of a discussion in Parliament on Operation Sindoor--India counter-response following the deadly terror attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir Pahalgam which took the life of 26 people.
Earlier in the day, BJP MP Santosh Pandey strongly criticised senior Congress leader P Chidambaram over his comment that there is no proof that the Pahalgam attackers came from Pakistan and compared him to an owl that sees only in the dark, implying that the former Home Minister is blind to the reality of cross-border terrorism.
BJP MP Anurag Thakur also slammed the Congress, saying even Pakistan doesnt advocate for itself as much as Rahul-occupied Congress does.
Speaking to ANI, Thakur said, Whenever it about Pakistan and terror, even Pakistan doesnt advocate for itself as much as Rahul-occupied Congress does. What is the compulsion that Congress has to take Pakistan side? Such a statement, coming from a former Home Minister, reveals the mentality of the Congress.
This comes after Chidambaram questioned the government narrative on the attack, suggesting that the terrorists could be homegrown and asking for evidence to prove they came from Pakistan. He also criticised the government for not disclosing details about Operation Sindoor.
In a July 27 interview with the a media outlet, Chidambaram raised questions on whether the Government had taken any follow-up steps to prevent another Pahalgam.
Where are the terrorist attackers? Why have you not apprehended them? Why have you not even identified them? Suddenly, a news item emerges that we have arrested two or three people who gave them shelter. Now what happened to that? Chidambaram asked.
Further, the Congress leader who served as the Home Minister in the UPA tenure said, the Government was unwilling to disclose what the NIA has done all these weeks. Have they identified the terrorists, and where did they come from? I mean, for all we know, they could be homegrown terrorists. Why do you assume that they came from Pakistan? There no evidence of that. They are also hiding the losses. (ANI)
