‘Instead Of Dirty Politics…’: Mayawati Urges Parties To Unite Amid Tensions Over Pahalgam Attack

BSP Chief Mayawati has urged all political parties to unite and support the government in every step taken by it regarding the Pahalgam terror attack.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Wednesday urged all political parties, including the opposition, to support the central government in every step it takes in view of the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives. 

She also advised leaders against engaging in dirty politics by making certain statements that might create confusion among people.

"All parties should unite and support the government in every step taken by it regarding the Pahalgam terror attack. Instead of doing dirty politics under its cover by putting up posters and making statements etc., because this is creating confusion among the people, which is not good for the country," the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister posted on X.

"Also, in this case, the architect of the Indian Constitution, the most revered Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, should not be insulted at all. Especially SP and Congress should take special care of this, otherwise BSP can take to the streets against them," she added.

Congress Cautions Its Leaders On Remarks Over Pahalgam Attack  

Meanwhile, Congress on Tuesday cautioned its leaders to not speak out of order on the Pahalgam terror attack, warning them  of strict disciplinary action in case anyone fails to adhere to the party line.

According to a PTI report, in a letter to all PCC chiefs, CLP leaders, party general secretaries and in-charges, MPs, MLAs/MLCs and heads of various departments and frontal organisations, AICC general secretary K C Venugopal asked party leaders to exercise "utmost discipline and consistency in public communication" and not speak out of place on the Pahalgam incident.

"All functionaries are instructed to exercise utmost discipline and consistency in public communication," Venugopal said.

"Any contravention of this directive will invite strict disciplinary action without exception," Venugopal asserted.

The letter came after the comments made by some Congress leaders caused a row, leading the BJP to hit out at them, accusing the party of speaking on behalf of terrorists.

The Congress also deleted a pictorial post titled "Gayab" posted on X to portray Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a leader missing in action during a crisis. The post was deleted after the BJP alleged that it was a 'sar tan se juda' imagery and an attempt to weaken India.
