Different PM, different BJP: On Pahalgam, Congress compares Modi with Vajpayee
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Sunday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, drawing a sharp contrast with the BJP's conduct during the Kargil War under former PM Atal Bihari to Vajpayee's decision to set up a four-member Kargil Review Committee after the 1999 war, Ramesh said that it was a different Prime Minister and a different bears recall that on July 30, 1999, three days after the India-Pakistan war ended, the Vajpayee Govt set up a four-member Kargil Review Committee. This was chaired by K. Subrahmanyam, whose son is now India's External Affairs Minister. The Committee submitted its report 'From Suprise to Reckoning' on Dec 15, 1999. It was tabled in Parliament with suitable redactions on Feb 23, 2000. It was also discussed. But that was a different PM, a different BJP as ruling party, and a different political climate," the Congress general secretary, in-charge, communications, wrote in a post on X. Jairam Ramesh's remarks came a day ahead of the special discussion in the Lok Sabha on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, scheduled for Monday, and in the Rajya Sabha the following in his post, the Congress MP pointed out that the perpetrators of the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22 have not been brought to justice yet."The Pahalgam terror attacks took place on April 22, 2025. The terrorists directly responsible have still not been brought to justice. Reportedly they were involved in earlier terror attacks in Poonch (Dec 2023) and Gangagir and Gulmarg (Oct 2024)," he also took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not chairing the all-party meeting in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, questioning the government's seriousness in building consensus during a national crisis."At the request of the INC, an all-party meeting was held and chaired – not by the PM as demanded but by the Raksha Mantri – on April 22, 2025 where questions on intelligence lapses were raised," the Congress leader even targeted the Modi government over President Donald Trump's claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, questioning how the Pakistan Army chief was then hosted for lunch."Since May 10th, President Trump has claimed 26 times that he stopped Op Sindoor by threatening to cut off trade with India, and claimed that five fighter jets may have been shot down. He has hosted the Pakistan Army Chief for lunch which has never been done before. The US Central Command Chief, Gen. Michael Kurilla, had called Pakistan a phenomenal partner in counter-terrorism operations. And just day before yesterday, the US Secretary lauded Pakistan in his meeting with its Deputy PM," the senior leader added.- EndsTune InMust Watch
