'Between 2004 & 2014, India saw a non-reactive & indecisive govt that responded to terror attacks with dossiers'

- NIKHIL VYAS

Accusing the previous Congress-led UPA governments of not taking any action despite repeated terror attacks during their term, Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha, J P Nadda on Wednesday said those questioning the Pahalgam terror attack should first reflect on how they dealt with terrorism.

Speaking during a special discussion in the Rajya Sabha on India's strong, successful and decisive 'Operation Sindoor' in response to terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Nadda hit out at the UPA governments, saying that no stern steps were taken after major terror attacks like the 2005 Delhi blasts, the 2006 Varanasi and Mumbai train bombings, adding that despite these incidents, trade and tourism with Pakistan continued.
