Congress Questions State Of 48-Hour Government Response Delay.
Reference To Times of India. The leader of the Congress, Pawan Khera has also criticized the central government on not officially declaring the deadly car accident at the Red Fort in Delhi a terrorist attack that happened to take two full days. The explosion that claimed the lives of 13 people and a number of injuries has raised a lot of serious concerns over national security and the preparedness of intelligence.
Khera Levels Accusations at Intelligence and Security Apparatus over Lapses.
When speaking at Indira bhavan, Khera claimed that the silence of the government created doubt when the country needed certainty. He pointed out that the fact that it took 48 hours to refer to the incident as a blast was a sign of alarming latitude in responding to the incident, especially given the fact that the incident was obviously a significant threat to the safety of the people.
What is the responsibility of the safety of the capital?
Khera also highlighted another shocking fact which was that almost 2,900 kg of explosives passed near the center of Delhi and went only 20 km to the Red Fort until the car exploded. This fact evokes serious concerns about surveillance, checkpoints and the security system in general.
Moreover, he required to know why no one has been blamed over such a major security failure, more so in a metropolis as sensitive and secured as the national capital.
Call for an All-Party Meeting
In a bid to make it transparent and have better coordination, Khera called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to hold an All-Party Meeting. He mentioned that national security should be put at the top of every thing beyond politics and all parties involved should join hands in answering the dangers brought to light by this incident.
Despite the high political tension, Khera emphasized that more efforts are needed to enhance security in the present time, which would result in much more serious threats in the future, and it is the duty of all to carry it out.
