Congress Calls Emergency CWC Meeting After Terror Attack In Pahalgam Kills 26

Following the brutal Pahalgam terror attack, the Congress party has called an emergency meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) on Thursday. The meeting will be held at 24 Akbar Road, the party’s former headquarters in New Delhi.

Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal shared the announcement on X, citing the horrific incident in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam as the reason for the urgent meeting.

On Tuesday, heavily armed terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists at the Baisaran meadows. The attack claimed 26 innocent lives and left many others injured.

Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi condemned the attack. They called it ‘extremely condemnable and heartbreaking’, and expressed solidarity with the bereaved families.

Venugopal arrived in Srinagar on Wednesday morning to pay tribute to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack.

“We must stand united, not only in mourning but also in our unflinching resolve against violence, against terror,” he stated. “My heartfelt prayers are with the bereaved families. India will never forget,” he added in a post on X.

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi said the victims’ families deserve full justice and complete support.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also strongly condemned the attack. He demanded that the perpetrators must not go unpunished and that justice be delivered.

Kharge called for ‘unity in action’ and urged a strong response to the cross-border terror incident. He also pressed the Government of India to consult all political parties to ensure security in Jammu and Kashmir and protect tourists in the region.
