In an all-party meeting held on ThursdayIndian overnment officials acknowledged a lapse in intelligence, admitting they did not anticipate a terror strike in Pahalgam due to the lack of precedent in the area.
“IB and Home Ministry officials briefed floor leaders about the incident,” said Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju while speaking to reporters after the meeting.
Opposition leaders extended full support to the government but Congress questioned the security lapse as well. “The opposition has given full support to the government to take any action,” said Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi.
The meeting comes after Tuesday’s deadly incident in Kashmir, which left at least 26 people dead.
