New Delhi [India], May 3 (ANI): Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir said that there has been nothing 'concrete' from the government in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
Speaking to media persons after the CWC meeting on the Pahalgam terror attack, Congress General Secretary Ghulam Ahmad Mir said, 'The incident occurred on 22nd April and we held a CWC meeting here on 24th. In the resolution we passed that day, the Congress party said that now it is time for the Government of India to take an account these people. Whatever action they take, the Congress party will completely support it. We said the same in all the party meetings. It has been 9-10 days now. But there has been no such indication from the Government of India.'
'There has been nothing concrete. So, even today through the Congress Working Committee, it has been said that we stand with the Government of India in whatever action they take. But it is up to the Government. So, what Rahul Gandhi said regarding martyr status for those who died, he reiterated it today, that this is the demand of their families so that the deceased are honoured,' he added.
Earlier on Friday, asserting a collective will as a nation to teach Pakistan a lesson, the Congress Working Committee urged the Government of India to act with firmness, strategic clarity, and international coordination to isolate and penalise Pakistan for its continued export of terror to our country.
The CWC, which met here under the chairmanship of the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, passed a resolution expressing solidarity and support with the 26 families who lost their loved ones in the barbaric terrorist attack in Pahalgam.
In his opening remarks, Kharge said that the Congress has expressed unambiguous support to the government to deal with the situation. However, he pointed out, even after ten days of the gruesome incident, the government has not taken any action. 'The pain of these families is the pain of the entire nation,' it noted, while adding that the CWC stands with them not only in words but in enduring solidarity.
At the same time, the CWC asserted that the entire country 'awaits accountability, answers, and justice'. In the face of such an unforgivable provocation, the Indian National Congress believes this is not a time for politics but a moment that calls for unity, strength, and national resolve, it said, adding, 'We must rise above partisan divides and send out an unambiguous message that India stands together and will not be broken.'
The CWC resolution asserted, 'This is a time for demonstrating our collective will as a nation to teach Pakistan a lesson and curb terrorism decisively. The masterminds and perpetrators of this cowardly attack must face the full consequences of their actions.' (ANI)
