Kharge Claims PM knows about Pahalgam attack 3 days before, BJP denies

New Delhi: Congress President Kharge claims that PM Modi cancelled his Kashmir tour knowingly about the attack three days before the incident but did not increase security in the area.  Kharge said at the ‘Samvidhan Bachao‘ rally in Ranchi,  “I got information that three days before the attack, an intelligence report was sent to Modi Ji, and that is why Modi Ji cancelled his visit to Kashmir”.

“When an intelligence report says that it is not proper to visit there for your security, why did you not inform your security, intelligence, local police and border force to protect people? When you got the information, you cancelled your programme but did not send more forces to protect tourists there,” he further questioned.

In response, several BJP leaders criticised Kharge’s comments, calling them irresponsible and “shameful”.

Former Union minister and senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said, “What has happened to Kharge ji…On one hand, during the meeting, they say that they are with the country and on the other hand, they are saying that the PM did not go to Kashmir because he was aware of the attack.”

Prasad further added: “This is an unfortunate thing to hear, especially when the country is already going through so much border tension…We do not expect such things at this moment.”
