In Vijayanagar, Karnataka, Kharge blamed the central government for the death of 26 people in the Pahalgam attack.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy. He said that Modi made 151 foreign visits from 72 countries in 11 years, out of which 10 times also went to America, but India did not get any benefit of these tours.
Kharge raised the question, “Is the Prime Minister’s job only to be photographed by going abroad? Even after so many foreign visits, India is standing alone in the world today.”
He described the announcement of a sudden ceasefire as an example of India’s weak foreign policy by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) lending $ 1.4 billion to Pakistan and an anti -terrorism action.
Kharge said;-

Former US President Donald Trump has said many times that he got a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. This is an insult to our country and the Modi government has not given any clarification on it so far.
Kharge said- Modi government did not provide security to tourists in Pahalgam
Kharge also blamed the central government for the death of 26 people in the Pahalgam attack. He said in Vijayanagar, Karnataka- Our 26 people were killed in Pahalgam, because the Modi government did not provide security to tourists there.
Kharge further said- PM Modi did not go to Kashmir because intelligence agencies refused him to go there. Why did you not refuse to go to Pahalgam from tourists (central government) tourists? If you had spoken to people, then 26 lives could have been saved and this small war (operation vermilion) would not be there.

Congress called BJP a merchant of vermilion

- Intelligence failure in Pahalgam terror attack is a serious matter. This is raising questions, which are disturbing. Despite the increasing tension and threats in the area, the terrorists managed to carry out a major attack.
- No accountability has been fixed yet. The terrorists responsible for the attack should be arrested, a case should be run against them. The government should clarify, take steps on the lapse in the Pahalgam attack.
- The sudden termination of India’s retaliation against Pakistan is also very surprising. Many questions are also raising this.
- US President Donald Trump’s statement is disturbing. The central government’s silence on Trump’s statement is beyond comprehension. This is not acceptable to us.
