New Delhi, Nov 11 (NationPress) Following the recent terror attack near the Red Fort in Delhi, the BJP has criticized the Congress for being 'shameless' and accused them of 'working against national interest'. This criticism comes in light of the Congress’s attempts to 'politicize' a tragedy that resulted in the loss of eight lives.
'If there were a face for shamelessness and actions against national interest, it would undoubtedly resemble the Congress,' stated BJP leader Amit Malviya.
Malviya elaborated on social media, saying, 'The challenge with our opposition and the extreme far-left circle is their inability to unite with the nation during critical times.' He noted that after the recent events in Pahalgam, the opposition demanded strict action against terrorism. However, when Operation Sindoor dismantled terror networks, they began advocating for 'peace', with some even claiming ties to Pakistan.
He added, 'Instead of supporting India, they are busy politicizing the Delhi blast and questioning the government's actions, even as evidence showcases a significant crackdown on terror modules, which has thwarted major attacks and led to the capture of notorious operatives. Our intelligence agencies are actively pursuing leads.'
Malviya further noted, 'While senior government officials are vigilantly monitoring the situation and providing assurance to the public, the Leader of Opposition and their deputy in Congress are reportedly indulging in yet another foreign vacation.'
This fierce critique from the BJP coincided with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks in Bhutan, where he pledged to take decisive action against those responsible for the blast.
PM Modi emphasized that Indian agencies will thoroughly investigate the conspiracy behind the attack, assuring that 'those accountable will face justice.'
In a statement made at Changlimethang Ground in Thimphu, he expressed, 'Today marks a significant day for Bhutan, the royal family, and all advocates of world peace. India and Bhutan share a profound spiritual and cultural relationship that has endured for centuries.'
He expressed his sorrow over the horrific incident in Delhi, stating, 'The entire nation stands in solidarity with the bereaved families. I have been in continuous communication with investigating agencies throughout the night. We will uncover the conspiracy and ensure that justice is served.'
Additionally, Union Home Minister Amit Shah convened a meeting with senior officials at his residence to discuss the car blast near the Red Fort Metro Station.
