Earlier, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said the dastardly terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam is a “direct attack on the Indian State” and the government should give a befitting response.
Addressing a press conference here, Kharge said a meeting of Congress Working Committee will be held in the national capital on Thursday and the government should hold all-party meeting on national security.
“This is a direct attack on the Indian State. The entire nation is in shock. A Pakistani terrorist organization has claimed responsibility. We must give a befitting response. We are all one and we will fight. There should not be claims without doing or without properly managing and finger-pointing. We urge the government to use all its strength to hunt down the terrorists. It has been almost 22 hours now,” he said.
The Congress leader said the government must do everything possible to maintain tourists’ confidence in the security arrangements of Jammu and Kashmir.

“I also requested CM Omar Abdullah to make arrangements for every tourist who wants to return. Our Home Minister also promised me that he shall also look after that,” Kharge said.
Congress leaders including Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, had on Tuesday strongly condemned the terror attack.
