Bengaluru: Following the understanding between India and Pakistan, Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge on Saturday asserted that they should continue the battle against terrorism, adding that preparations that India was doing as a nation to combat terrorism should go ahead with full flow.
“We should continue our battle against terrorism. Terrorism does not understand ceasefire. So I think whatever preparations we are doing as a nation to combat terrorism should go ahead with full flow,” Kharge told ANI.
Congress leader Pawan Khera said that it was “unprecedented” that they learned this from American President Donald Trump.
“It is unprecedented that we get to know this from the American President… Therefore, the questions that India wants to ask can only be answered through a special session of Parliament. Therefore, Congress demands a special session of Parliament and an all-party meeting… the country deserves to know what it has achieved and what India has lost…the victims of Pahalgam would also like to know whether justice has been served to them or not,” Khera said.
RJD MP Manoj Jha said that in history, India has never wanted war; war has always been imposed on India.
“But whenever we have fought a war, we have fought bravely. I salute the valour of the armed forces…Here too, our armed forces have targeted only terrorist hideouts; civilians and military establishments were not targeted. What did we get in return? Our citizens were killed…This is the difference between India and Pakistan…I urge the Prime Minister to call a special session to give a united message to the nation and salute the valour of the armed forces,” Jha said.
