Pahalgam Attack Anniversary Sparks Congress Critique on Foreign Policy

On the solemn occasion marking the anniversary of the Pahalgam terror attack, the Congress has unleashed a scathing critique on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration. The party alleges that Pakistan's newfound global respect, despite past condemnations, highlights significant shortcomings in India's foreign policy.

Jairam Ramesh, Congress's General Secretary, reflected on the profound pain and loss experienced by Indians, extending his thoughts to the bereaved families. He commended the valiant efforts of the local ponywallah who was killed while attempting to save tourists during the attack.

Highlighting intelligence lapses and questioning the absence of corrective actions, Ramesh underscored the continued challenges posed by Pakistan. Despite the subsequent Operation Sindoor by India, aimed at dismantling terror infrastructure, the Congress maintains that a reset in diplomatic posture is crucial yet unlikely under current leadership.
