New Delhi: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi-Vadra on Tuesday condemned the terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
On his social media handle X, Kharge called the attack “a blot on humanity”.
“I strongly condemn the cowardly terror attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. The entire nation is united in fighting the scourge of cross-border terrorism,” he said.
Kharge said, “These dastardly targeted attacks are a blot on humanity. News reports indicate that precious lives have been lost.”
“On behalf of the Congress party, my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims. Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured. India’s National Security is paramount and we urge the GoI to take corrective measures to ensure the same,” Kharge.
Rahul Gandhi, while condemning the terror attack and offering his condolences to the bereaved families, said, “The whole country is united against terrorism. Instead of making hollow claims of the situation being normal in Jammu and Kashmir, the government should now take accountability and take concrete steps so that such barbaric incidents do not happen in the future and innocent Indians do not lose their lives like this.”
