‘Shameful’: Congress demands BJP MP's ‘expulsion’ for ‘tourists should've fought terrorists in Pahalgam’ remark

The Congress party has called for the expulsion of BJP MP Ram Chander Jangra following his controversial remarks suggesting that tourists in Pahalgam should have confronted terrorists. This statement has sparked outrage, with opposition leaders labeling it as "shameful" and irresponsible. The Congress argues that such comments not only trivialize the threat posed by terrorism but also endanger civilians by proposing unrealistic expectations. Amidst the uproar, Congress spokespersons have emphasized the need for responsible rhetoric from public figures, especially in sensitive regions like Jammu and Kashmir. They contend that Jangra's remarks could undermine public confidence in the government's ability to ensure safety and security in the area. The call for Jangra's expulsion underscores the gravity with which the Congress views this issue, urging the BJP to take decisive action to maintain decorum and accountability. In response, the BJP has yet to issue a formal statement addressing the demand or the remarks in question. As the political fallout continues, this incident highlights the ongoing tensions and challenges in addressing terrorism while maintaining public trust. Observers are keenly watching how the BJP will navigate this controversy amid growing calls for responsible governance and rhetoric.
