Congress Seeks PM Modi’s Presence at All-Party Meeting
The Congress party, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is calling for the Prime Minister’s attendance at an all-party meeting convened by the government. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday and will be attended by the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, and the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi.
In response to the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces conducted missile strikes on nine terror targets, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba’s base in Muridke. The government has convened the all-party meeting to brief parliamentary representatives about the strike.
Congress Rajya Sabha MP and general-secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh told reporters, "We expect PM Modi to attend at least tomorrow’s all-party meeting." He added, "We had requested for the PM’s presence on 24 April but he did not attend. He should at least attend tomorrow."
The all-party meeting is a significant event, as it brings together representatives from various political parties to discuss national issues and coordinate efforts. The Congress party is urging the Prime Minister to prioritize the meeting and ensure its attendance.
