Echoing the party chief’s sentiments, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh alleged that BJP leaders were constantly insulting the Indian Army and the martyrs, “which exposes their petty and lowly mindset”.”This shameful statement of Jangra shows that the BJP, intoxicated with power, has become so insensitive that instead of blaming the security lapse… in Pahalgam… BJP MPs are questioning the martyrs and their wives,” Ramesh said in a post on X.Claiming the BJP has taken no action against Shah and Devda, he said the new statement is “highly objectionable”.”Why should the silence of Prime Minister Modi and the BJP leadership not be considered a tacit approval of these statements? Our clear demand is’ Prime Minister Modi should apologize for this shameful statement and expel MP Ram Chander Jangra from the party,” Ramesh added.Jangra on Saturday stoked a row by saying that the tourists who came under terrorist attack in the verdant meadows of Baisaran in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22, should have put up a fight and the women, who lost their husbands, should have acted like ‘veerangna’ (warrior women).He claimed that the number of casualties would have been low had the tourists undergone Agniveer training and the ladies “lacked” the spirit of warrior women.
