Congress President Mallikrajun Kharge said on Saturday that there was a “security lapse” that led to the Pahalgam terrorist attack, and people could not be protected, although there is a three-level security system.
Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Kharge also said that not all party convened by the Prime Minister was present in the meeting.
“Once the government asks for a meeting, the Prime Minister, representing the government, should be present. Lack, an IB omission, an informer failure, or a police failure?
Kharge said, “The central government has admitted that it was a security lapse”.
“That is why a meeting was called. We told Amit Shah that it should be taken as a challenge. Everything should have been arranged properly. This is because proper arrangements were not made, and the situation changed in this way. Amit Shah assured us that such incidents would not happen in the future. Saying that we support the government’s decision,” he said.
