On Sunday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and other opposition party members criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi following a terrorist attack on a bus carrying pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 10 people.
Kharge stated on X, ‘Even while PM Shri Narendra Modi and his NDA Govt get sworn in and heads of several countries are in the country, a dastardly terrorist attack on a bus carrying pilgrims has resulted in loss of lives of at least 10 Indians.’
‘The Modi (now NDA) Government’s boasts of achieving peace and restoring normalcy are utterly unfounded,’ remarked the leader of the Congress party.
Kharge, in response to the attack, expressed his condolences, stating, ‘We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the families of the victims and fervently hope for the swift recovery of the injured. It is imperative that the government and relevant authorities promptly offer aid and compensation to those affected.’
