“The federal government ought to take duty for the Pahalgam Terrorist Assault. They (the federal government) are saying that terrorists killed individuals after asking them (about their faith). Do terrorists have time for all this?… Some individuals say that this didn’t occur. Terrorists don’t have any caste or faith. Catch those that are accountable and take motion. That is the sentiment of the nation,” he stated.
Congress MLA Clarifies His Remarks
After his remarks created outrage, the Congress chief stated, “Initially, terrorists got here and took lives, and nobody requested about caste or faith. If faith was requested, it means their intention could possibly be to destabilize the nation, create division between communities and religions, and hurt the nation.

Watching this, we must always not divide the nation. Their goal is to destroy the nation.”

“Now Vijay Wadettiwar says that the federal government is accountable, Pakistan just isn’t accountable, and is there any proof that terrorists killed individuals based mostly on faith. Within the all-party assembly, they’ll say that Pakistan is accountable, take motion towards Pakistan, take motion towards terrorists, and we’re with you. And after the all-party assembly, they are saying don’t take motion towards Pakistan,” the BJP chief stated.
