Political Appeasement Through Labeling Shooters as Terrorists Rather Than Gunmen: Criticism by BJP in Congress
India: BJP Spokesperson Unleashes Scathing Criticism Against Congress Over Pahalgam Attack
NEW DELHI'S B buzzing with BJP National Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari's sharp comments against the Congress for their alleged appeasement politics. In a no-holds-barred conversation with IANS, Bhandari delivers a stinging rebuke, questioning the Congress's dubious nature.
In response to Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar's statement that the nation is still reeling from the aftermath of the partition, Bhandari accuses the Congress of playing a dangerous game of good cop, bad cop. He suggests that the party is hesitant to pin the blame on Pakistan for the Pahalgam terrorist attack, all for the sake of appeasement politics.
Expanding on this argument, the BJP leader points out the inconsistency in Congress statements. He refers to Rahul Gandhi's pledge to stand alongside the government in the fight against terror during the all-party meeting, contrasting it with confusing messages from other Congress members.
Intensifying the attack, Bhandari asserts that Congress leaders belittle the victims of the terror attack by branding them liars and euphemistically referring to terrorists as gunmen. He further claims that the party's intentions are crystal clear, as evident during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack when they blamed the majority Hindu population instead of naming Pakistan.
With a passionate plea to the Congress, Bhandari urges them to rise above petty politics and work towards the nation's best interests. He affirms that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, India stands prepared to deliver a fitting response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives in Jammu and Kashmir.
Noteworthy developments include India's decision to suspend the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan and the cancellation of visas for Pakistani nationals residing in India[1]. The Union Home Ministry has also issued an advisory to all states, requesting them to identify and deport Pakistani nationals living within their borders. The Pahalgam attack has garnered widespread condemnation worldwide, with global leaders expressing solidarity with India in the war against terrorism[1].
