While India stood together, BJP attacked Cong online: Baghel

Calling for a ‘all parties meeting', former CM Bhupesh Baghel reiterated that Congress stands with the govt but they demand transparency over the ceasefire agreement with Pakistan.

Baghel further said, "The BJP spokesperson's statement that revenge was taken raises many questions," he said. "What happened to the four-five terrorists from Pahalgam? Were they caught or killed? Who is responsible for the security lapse? Is the home minister resigning?"

Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi on Monday, the AICC general secretary said that his party stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the Armed Forces. Baghel cited the 1971 war, commenting, "Despite US pressure, Indira Gandhi divided Pakistan into two." He questioned whether the govt changed its policy under US pressure.

Baghel also noted that while the Congress cancelled all its programmes, including ‘Samvidhan Bachao Abhiyan', BJP attacked the Congress on social media, "When the whole country was united in a time of crisis, BJP leaders were making political statements on social media." he said.

The Congress leader demanded transparency from the govt.

He questioned whether the US President's ceasefire announcement was a diplomatic failure. "Have we accepted third-party mediation? Has the Shimla Agreement been cancelled? We were fighting against terror, and suddenly the Kashmir issue came up!" He called for a special session of Parliament to discuss the terms of the ceasefire, "A meeting of all parties should be called to address these concerns."
