Twenty-four parties of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance bloc on Saturday decided to mount a coordinated attack against the Narendra Modi government over the Pahalgam terror attack, foreign policy issues such as the US' claims of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and the electoral roll update in Bihar during the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament.

The opposition parties, meeting online on Saturday ina show of strength aimed at reviving the fragile bloc, demanded that PM Modi address critical security and diplomatic issues.

“The most important issue is linked with the prestige and security of 140 crore people. In Pahalgam, terrorists have wiped away the sindoor of our sisters, but we don’t know where they have disappeared. There is a major intelligence failure,” Congress Rajya Sabha deputy leader Pramod Tiwari said.
