Take right measures to protect country by understanding nation’s feelings: Kharge to PM

CONGRESS president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take the right steps towards protecting the country at the earliest in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, by understanding the feelings of the country and utilising the authority given to him by political parties to conduct any operation in the current situation.

Reiterating his demand to convene a special session of Parliament to discuss the terror attack and demonstrate a collective resolve, the AICC chief, in the wake of controversy over the party's 'Gayab' social media post targeting the PM, said no attempt should be made to cause any damage to the dignity or image of anyone.

"All parties have to be together. A session should be called, and the prime minister should be there. What steps the PM has taken or is planning to. He need not reveal them because keeping such things secret operations have to be conducted. But, regarding the current situation and what is in his mind, he has to at least call a meeting of floor leaders during the session and speak to them," Kharge said to a question on demand for a special parliament session.
