NEW DELHI: The Congress Working Committee (CWC) on Thursday said the "cowardly and calculated act of terror, mastermind by Pakistan, is a direct assault on the values of our Republic" and maintained that "the deliberate targeting of Hindus was done to inflame passions across the country."

The CWC — the highest body in the Congress — also said it was "imperative that a comprehensive analysis is conducted into the intelligence failures and security lapses" in a Union Territory that came "directly under the purview of the Union home ministry."
