Should India fight terror or Congress' lies, asks Dharmendra Pradhan

The BJP on Tuesday condemned Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's statement claiming that PM Modi called off his Kashmir trip due to prior information on the attack. BJP leaders questioned the Congress' earlier commitment that it is with the government in any action against Pakistan.

"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," senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad told media persons in Delhi. "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..."

Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan alleged that Congress is not interested in fighting terrorism.


"...The country is with the government in the fight against terrorism. But the Congress is not giving up its habit. One after the other, such statements are being made by Congress leaders which are being liked by the enemies of the country sitting across the border," he said.

"After the statement given by the Congress President, it is now clear that Congress is not interested in fighting terrorism but in issuing statements which will be used against the country...," Pradhan posted on X. He added that Congress, despite claiming to be a constructive opposition, has failed in its role.

"...The role of the Congress has now become that of a 'destructive opposition'. The big question is whether the country should fight terrorism or the organised lies and rumours of Congress," he added.
