Congress Should Hold Union Govt Accountable For Attack: Priyanka

The Congress Working Committee (CWC) on Friday urged the Narendra Modi government to "act with firmness, strategic clarity, and international coordination to isolate and penalise Pakistan", reminding the PM that the entire country is waiting for justice in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.

NEW DELHI:

The CWC, which met at Delhi's 24, Akbar Road premises, emphasised that the Telangana caste survey model should be emulated by the government and demanded that "the government must immediately allocate the necessary funds and announce a clear timeline for every stage of the census."

But the presser after the meeting sparked a controversy when former Punjab chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi demanded proof about the surgical strikes and questioned the steps taken by the government.

"...The Congress Party urges the Government of India to act with firmness, strategic clarity, and international coordination to isolate and penalise Pakistan for its continued export of terror into our territory," the resolution said.

"In the face of such an unforgivable provocation, the Indian National Congress believes this is not a time for politics, but a moment that calls for unity, strength, and national resolve," it added.

In the meeting, party general secretary Randeep Surjewala read the Pahalgam resolution and former Rajasthan deputy CM Sachin Pilot presented the caste census resolution.

Later, Pilot recalled how the Congress had stood with the Vajpayee government after the 2001 Parliament attack.

"We have always acted in supreme national interest. The attack is not just on tourists, it is against India."
