New Delhi, July 29
In a searing speech in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a direct attack on the Centre over the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam’s Baisaran Valley, questioning the NDA government’s claims of “normalcy” in Jammu and Kashmir and demanding accountability from Home Minister Amit Shah.
While speaking during the discussion on ‘Operation Sindoor’, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also pointed to the Manipur unrest and Delhi riots and sought accountability from Home Minister Shah.
“Everyone talks about 'Operation Sindoor', and we are proud of our Army. But no one talks about what happened in Pahalgam on April 22 — when people were massacred in front of their family members. What were they doing there? They had gone there believing the government's word — that peace had returned to Kashmir,” she said.
She recounted the harrowing story of Shubham Dwivedi, a recently married man who had gone to Baisaran Valley with his wife and extended family.
