New Delhi: Congress has sharply criticized Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK) Lieutenant Governor ManojSinha, questioning whom he is trying to protect by belatedly taking responsibility for the Pahalgam false flag operation.<\/p>\nNew Delhi: Congress has sharply criticized Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK) Lieutenant Governor ManojSinha, questioning whom he is trying to protect by belatedly taking responsibility for the Pahalgam false flag operation.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, the criticism followsSinha\u2019sadmission in an interview to a leading Indian daily, where he acknowledgedthat there was a security lapse in the Pahalgamincident and that he took full responsibility of the April 22 attack.<\/p>\n
Congress head of media and publicity department,PawanKhera,took to X, saying, \u201cThe much-delayed acceptance of responsibility by L-G ManojSinha is an insult to all those innocent tourists who lost their lives in Pahalgam attack\u201d.In a follow-up post, Khera questioned, \u201cWhy now? Who is the LG protecting? Where is the accountability? \u201cWhen will you resign?\u201d He further said that the government had even failed to provide ambulances to the victims.<\/p>\n
Responding to Khera\u2019s post, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said, \u201cPretty obvious actually who he [LG] is protecting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another Congress leader and LokSabha member from Tamil Nadu, Manickam Tagore, also questioned the timing of Sinha\u2019s statement and bluntly apportioned the blame on the Modi government.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore six days to Parliament session, Lt. Governor ManojSinha calls the Pahalgam attack a security lapse and takes full responsibility. But in J&K, the real control lies with the Union Home Ministry under Amit Shah. Why is he silent after 90 militancy-related deaths this year?\u201d Tagore asked on X.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that the Modi government had promised a \u201cnew era of peace\u201d in Kashmir after abrogating Article 370, but ground realities tell a different story. \u201cNinety people have died this year alone\u201d.\u201cThe L-G admits the Pahalgam attack happened in a high-security zone. Then how did [militants] breach security so easily? Who was in charge of intelligence and preparedness? The answer lies withAmit Shah\u2019s Home Ministry, he said.Tagore emphasized that the BJP-led Indian government must be held accountable. \u201cIf the Union Govt. claims credit for all development in J&K\u2026It must also own the failures of security. You can\u2019t take the photo-ops and dodge the bloodshed. 90 dead in a year is not normal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He concluded, \u201cLet\u2019s be clear: This is not just a local failure. It\u2019s a central failure \u2014 by the Modi govt. and the Home Ministry. The people of Jammu & Kashmir \u2014 and India \u2014 deserve answers, not slogans,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
