Demand for Accountability: Kharge's Fiery Call for Action on Pahalgam Security Lapse

Mallikarjun Kharge criticized the Indian government for security lapses leading to the Pahalgam terror attack, demanding Home Minister Amit Shah's accountability and resignation. He questioned PM Modi's silence on US President Trump's mediation claims and urged for transparency on Operation Sindoor. Kharge sought answers on India’s foreign policy and security strategies.

In a heated parliamentary debate, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge called for Home Minister Amit Shah to resign over the Pahalgam terror attack, citing security lapses as a major failing. He demanded accountability from the government and questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on the issue.

Kharge raised concerns about US President Donald Trump's claims of mediating between India and Pakistan, asking if India had agreed to any third-party intervention. The Congress leader also criticized India's foreign policy approach and demanded a government release of the Pahalgam attack report, similar to the post-Kargil report.

He pointed to media reports and statements from defense officials acknowledging operational and intelligence failures. Kharge urged the government to eradicate remaining terrorist threats, and questioned PM Modi's absence during critical discussions, highlighting a perceived lack of commitment to national security.
