Jammu, Apr 29: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National General Secretary, Tarun Chugh on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Congress and INDI Alliance leaders, questioning them whether they are with India or Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack.
Chugh in a statement said, “Their contradictory stance on national unity and terrorism is alarming for the nation. On the one hand, the Congress talks about unity, and on the other, its leaders give statements that weaken India and embolden Pakistan. Are these leaders speaking out of ignorance, or is it a deliberate strategy to malign India on the global stage? Their words are becoming ammunition in Pakistan’s anti-India propaganda war.”
Taking direct aim at the Gandhi family, the BJP leader said, “From Robert Vadra justifying terrorism on communal lines to Saifuddin Soz giving a clean chit to Pakistan, the Congress seems more concerned about Pakistan’s image than India’s security. Siddaramaiah says war is unnecessary, while his ministers suggest terrorists didn’t ask for religion before killing. Such rhetoric borders on anti-nationalism.”
He added, “Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar yet again echoed Pakistani narratives by blaming partition for the Pahalgam massacre. Himachal’s Agriculture Minister claims ‘the world is spitting on India’. Ironically, while countries like the US, Russia, UAE, Australia and Saudi Arabia are standing with India, Congress leaders choose to echo ISI talking points.”
Referring to PM Modi’s clear and strong message, Chugh said, “The Prime Minister has vowed to eliminate the terrorists and punish them in a way they can never imagine. This is the decisive voice India needs — not Congress’s confused, fractured, and dangerous politics.”
He asked: “Is Congress still the party that stands with India, or has it become a PR wing for Pakistan? These leaders are trying to become the charming stars of Pakistani media. Congress must come clean — will they apologise or continue to support those who speak the language of the enemy?”
The BJP leader said the country deserves clarity, not confusion. “In moments of national pain, Congress turns into a party of a hundred voices, each more disconnected from national interest than the last. The question now is simple — Whose side is the Congress on?” he asked.
