Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, made a visit to Jammu and Kashmir on Friday where he met with a victim of the recent terror strike in Pahalgam. During his visit, Gandhi emphasized the importance of unity in the fight against terrorism and condemned the attacks on Kashmiris in other parts of the country.
Gandhi held meetings with Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, where he was briefed on the current situation in the region. He assured them of his party’s full support in tackling the challenges faced by the state.
The visit came in the wake of India announcing measures against Pakistan in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. Leaders from various political parties, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Trinamool Congress’s Sudip Bandyopadhyay, expressed their support for the government’s actions against the perpetrators.
After his visit, Gandhi issued a statement expressing his condolences to the families of the victims and reaffirming the nation’s solidarity in the face of such tragedies. He highlighted the unity displayed by the people of Jammu and Kashmir in denouncing the attack and standing together as one.
Gandhi also referenced the all-party meeting held in Delhi, where the opposition parties came together to condemn the attacks and pledge their support to the government in its efforts to combat terrorism. He warned against falling into the trap of division and urged for unity among all sections of society.
The visit by Rahul Gandhi to Jammu and Kashmir underscored the need for solidarity and cooperation in the fight against terrorism and emphasized the importance of standing together in times of crisis.
But Rahul Gandhi has to answer:
- Why did he meet Pakistani General Asim Muneer
- What was his MP, Imran Masood, doing in Kashmir 4 days back?
- What problem did his Karnataka Minister, Santosh Lad, want to solve, that he flew to Pahalgam the night before the attack by a private jet?
