Speaking at the 'Jai Hind Sabha' organised by the party in the city, AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal slammed the Central Government for not calling a special Parliament session to demonstrate national unity on Operation Sindoor.

He said, "Several questions have emerged about Operation Sindoor. These need answers from the government. Why did our intelligence agencies fail to prevent the Pahalgam attack? We have also learned that an officer from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for allegedly leaking information related to the Pahalgam attack to Pakistan."

Venugopal also pointed out that the perpetrators of Pahalgam terror are yet to be arrested.
