Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra teared into the Central government during a debate on Operation Sindoor, asking absence of any security personnel in the Baisaran Valley in Pahalgam, despite the knowledge that thousands of tourists visit the spot.
Questioning the intelligence failure, Priyanka Gandhi asked, “Was no govt agency in the know that such a dastardly terror attack is going to happen and a plot is being hatched in Pakistan?”
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asked, “Yesterday, the Defence Minister spoke for an hour, during which he spoke about terrorism, protecting the country, and also gave a history lesson. But one thing was left out- On April 22, 2025, when 26 people were killed in front of their families, how did this attack happen, why did it happen?”
“Why was not even one security personnel present there [Baisaran Valley]? Is the safety and security of the citizens not the responsibility of the Prime Minister, Home Minister, and Defence Minister?” Priyanka Gandhi asked.
“Did government not know thousands of tourists go to Baisaran Valley; why there was no security? Why they were left at God’s mercy.”
