J&K Terror Attack LIVE | Akhilesh questions 'lack of security' for tourists, questions govt's priority
Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday assailed the BJP-led Centre over the Pahalgam terror attack with pointed questions on the apparent "lack" of security for tourists. He accused the government of prioritising VIP protection over public safety.
At least 26 people, mostly tourists, died in the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The execution-like killing by terrorists after reportedly asking about the victims' faith has left the entire country grieving and outraged.
Voicing the concern of tourists who survived the attack, Yadav, in a post on X, asked, "Why was there no one to protect me (the public) amid danger?"
In the social media post, he went on to question the government's security policies, ostensibly referring to alleged Gujarat conman Kiran Patel who had allegedly posed as a PMO official and visited Kashmir under security cover. "Why are some individuals, who later turn out to be frauds, given such tight and comprehensive security by the government?" the SP chief posed.
