BALLIA (UP): SP MP Afzal Ansari condemned the targeting of Muslims and Kashmiri students in several parts of the country following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, alleging that those “government-backed” people spreading hatred share the same mindset as terrorists.
Talking to PTI on the sidelines of a family function at the residence of Ballia MP Sanatan Pandey on Wednesday, Ansari said, “The Pahalgam incident is a failure of the Narendra Modi-led central government.
“The site of the attack is 150 kilometres away from the Pakistan border. How did terrorists gain the courage to reach so deep into Indian territory? This is the time for a strong response. If there is no internal complicity, India must retaliate and reclaim Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) as its own.”
