Congress President Kharge had raised questions about the government's response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in 26 fatalities. At a rally in Jharkhand, he alleged that Prime Minister Modi was warned by intelligence reports three days prior to the attack but failed to act on these warnings.
