New Delhi [India], April 30 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party MP Tejasvi Surya launched a blistered attack on the Congress on Wednesday, claiming that the party working as the “biggest PR of Pakistan,” and has forgotten how a “responsible opposition must behave.”
The attack by Surya comes in response to a new deleted post by Congress, where they said that the Prime Minister is missing during the time of taking responsibility, and a picture of a kurta-pyjama and black sandals with the word “GAYAB.”
“Unfortunately, today in India, Congress is working as the biggest PR of Pakistan. This is very unfortunate. Congress has maybe forgotten the way a responsible opposition must behave,” the BJP leader told ANI after he paid tribute to 12th century social reformer Basavanna on his Jayanti.
He further hit out at the Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for his statements regarding that war is not necessary with Pakistan.
“Especially, some Ministers of Karnataka and the CM, the way they are giving statements like agents of Pakistan, the patriots of this country are finding it very unfortunate. Congress is behaving like the most irresponsible opposition country has ever seen,” Surya told ANI.
Earlier on Sunday, CM Siddaramaiah clarified his stance, stating that war should be always be a “last resort” for any nation. He also highlighted “grave lapses” in India’s intelligence and security systems, urging the central government to address these issues to prevent future tragedies.
In his post on X, he wrote: “I have observed the debates and discussions, both for and against, surrounding the statement I made about war. War should always be a nation’s last resort — never the first, nor the only option. Only when every other means to defeat the enemy have failed should a country be compelled to go to war.”
“The horrific terror attack in Pahalgam, orchestrated by Pakistan-backed militants, has made it painfully clear — both to the people of our nation and to the central government — that there were grave lapses in our intelligence and security apparatus. It is now the government’s solemn responsibility first to correct these shortcomings and to ensure such tragedies are not repeated in the future,” his post continued.
He also expressed support for the central government’s diplomatic measures, including revisiting the Indus Waters Treaty, in response to Pakistan-backed terrorism. He hinted that more decisive actions may be expected, emphasizing that not all steps need to be made public.
The terror attack on April 22 in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam targeted tourists, killing 26 people, including one Nepali citizen. Following the Pahalgam terror attack, India has taken strong measures against Pakistan for its support of cross-border terrorism. (ANI)
