"Priyanka Gandhi Supports Any Government Action Following Pahalgam Incident"
Priyanka Gandhi Stands by Congress' Swift Action Against Terrorism
In a show of solidarity, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi affirmed the party's readiness to back any decisive action taken by the government following the devastating Pahalgam terror attack. Speaking during her visit to Wayanad, the AICC general secretary expressed hope for immediate action from the government.
During a press briefing, she said, "The Congress Party... the CWC met, and we passed a resolution. In the resolution, we have conveyed our full support for whatever action the government decides to take. We're hoping they make their move soon." This statement was made in response to the attack that took the lives of 26 innocent people on April 22, 2025, predominantly Indian tourists, making it one of the deadliest attacks in Kashmir since 2019.
The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy for Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility for the heinous act. In the aftermath, the Congress party has been vocal about the need for firm government action to penalize Pakistan for continuing to export terror. Their appeal came in a resolution passed by the Congress Working Committee (CWC), chaired by party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and attended by former Congress presidents Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, as well as general secretaries Jairam Ramesh, K C Venugopal, and Priyanka, among others.
In addition to voicing support for swift government action, Priyanka Gandhi also focused on animal welfare. She handed over a new ambulance for injured and sick animals to forest officials of the Wayanad Wildlife Division at Sultan Bathery. The ambulance, funded through Rs 15 lakh from her development fund, was officially inaugurated during a ceremony at the Forest Division Office in Sultan Bathery.
Meanwhile, there's tension brewing within the local party. The family of former Wayanad DCC treasurer NM Vijayan, who took his own life a few months back, alleges that local party leaders hindered them from meeting Priyanka Gandhi. His daughter-in-law claimed they received no assistance from the party despite promises made during her recent visit. The incident adds another layer of complexity to Priyanka Gandhi's visit to Wayanad, underscoring the challenges she faces in managing both her political and personal responsibilities.
