Jammu, Apr 28: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Tariq Hameed Karra on Monday clarified his reported statement that India should hold talks with Pakistan, saying that he had not mentioned anything about dialogue.
Speaking to the media, Karra condemned the Pahalgam attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people. “We have condemned it in the strongest possible words. No ifs and buts in it, whatever Rahul Gandhi has said, the entire nation is with that and the entire nation is with the government,” the Congress leader said.
When asked whether he supports holding talks with Pakistan, Karra said, “No, I don’t.”
Karra further asserted that the Congress party supports whatever the government of India deems fit. “I have not said anything regrettable. This is simply a misinterpretation of things. Whatever I said is a reiteration of our leader, Rahul Gandhi. We said that wars have always brought devastation to both countries. I did not say anything about dialogue. I reiterate that whatever the government of India feels fit, the Congress party is with that, and we are in unison with the issue,” the JKPCC chief said.
