NEW DELHI: Charges of lack of "govt accountability" for repeated terror attacks , ceasefire under pressure and govt's refusal to "name" China echoed in LS as Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra , SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and DMK's Kanimozhi led the charge in targeting BJP over the Pahalgam attack and the conflict with Pakistan.
Priyanka mocked that Pulwama, Uri, Pathankot terror attacks took place under then home minister Rajnath Singh, who later became the defence minister, while Manipur and Delhi burnt in riots and Pahalgam attack happened under Amit Shah, who continues to be home minister.
Akhilesh said Pahalgam happened just like the Pulwama attack, with the same intelligence failure at its heart. He questioned the abrupt ceasefire just when India was on the verge of teaching a lifetime lesson to Pakistan. He attributed the ceasefire to "deep friendship", without naming Modi or Trump.
About the killing of three terrorists coinciding with the Parliament debate, Akhilesh asked "why did the encounter happen only yesterday?" Opposition also slammed BJP for using the Pahalgam tragedy for "communal campaign".
In a bizarre scene, as Priyanka named the 25 victims of Pahalgam "who were Indian", BJP members shouted they were all Hindus. The speech ended with her naming them, and Congress and BJP benches shouting "Indian" and "Hindu" respectively in loud chorus. tnn
