Snapshot of the day

July 28, 2025

Sidharth Bhatia

Although nearly 100 days have elapsed since the Pahalgam terror attack, the Union government has not been able to arrest those responsible, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said in the Lok Sabha on Monday. Opening the Opposition’s response during a 16-hour debate on the terror attack and Operation Sindoor, the Congress’ deputy leader in the Lok Sabha added that Union home minister Amit Shah “needs to take the responsibility” for the security lapse that led to the attack. “The country wants to know and those who lost their families want to know how the government could not catch those terrorists,” said Gogoi. “The country wants to know how these terrorists were given shelter and information. And 100 days later, the government has no answer.”

He added: “You have drones, Pegasus, and security forces, and you could not catch them. What kind of arrangement is this?”
