NEW DELHI: Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi on Monday slammed the Narendra Modi government over the alleged security lapse in the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and said that the Centre can’t hide behind the Lieutenant Governor over the loss of 26 lives, as the onus lies with the former.
Leading the Congress charge on the Operation Sindoor debate in Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi said that the Defence Minister didn’t inform the House on how the terrorists infiltrated into the Baisaran valley, and the Home Minister must be held accountable for the lapses.
“More than 100 days have passed since the ghastly terror attack, but the government has utterly failed in nabbing them and bringing them to justice, ” he said.
"The Defence Minister spoke a lot but didn't answer how terrorists reached Pahalgam and managed to massacre 26 people, " he said.
