After attending the all-party meet, Lok Sabha LOP Rahul Gandhi said that the Opposition has uniformly decided to support the government. “We have uniformly condemned this act and the opposition gave its full support to the government to take any action,” Gandhi told PTI.
Congress party chief Kharge said, “We all condemned the terror attack. We raised our concern to bring peace in Kashmir and said that we all need to make efforts for that.”
AAP leader Sanjay Singh, while emphasising that a “befitting reply” should be given to the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terror attack, said, “Our innocent tourists have been killed. The terrorists should be answered back in their own language. We have all unanimously agreed that we have to give them a befitting reply for the Pahalgam terror attack.”
