Congress Deletes Controversial ‘Gayab’ Post Targeting PM Modi Over Pahalgam Terror Attack
In the aftermath of the devastating Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 tourists, the Congress party has come under fire for a controversial social media post that many have deemed to be inappropriate and insensitive. The post, which has since been deleted, targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sparked widespread outrage on social media.
The original post, which was shared on the Congress’s official Twitter handle, featured an image of a headless kurta-pyjama ensemble with the caption, “Gayab (missing)”. The party also wrote, “Zimmedari ke samay- Gayab,” which roughly translates to “When it’s time to take responsibility, it’s missing”.
The post was widely criticized by netizens, who saw it as an attempt to politicize the tragedy and deflect attention from the real issue at hand. Many pointed out that the post was not only insensitive but also lacked any constructive or meaningful commentary on the terror attack.
The controversy surrounding the post comes at a time when the nation is still reeling from the shock of the Pahalgam terror attack. The attack, which occurred on Friday, claimed the lives of 26 tourists, including several women and children, and left many more injured.
The terrorist group responsible for the attack has been identified as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a Pakistan-based militant organization. The attack is being seen as a major blow to India’s security apparatus and has raised concerns about the growing threat of terrorism in the region.
In the face of mounting criticism, the Congress party has deleted the controversial post and apologized for any offense it may have caused. However, the damage has already been done, and many are still reeling from the shock and outrage caused by the party’s thoughtless response to the tragedy.
The controversy surrounding the post has also sparked a wider debate about the role of politics in times of crisis. Many have argued that politicians should refrain from exploiting tragedies for political gain and instead focus on providing support and assistance to those affected.
In conclusion, the deletion of the controversial ‘Gayab’ post by the Congress party is a welcome step, but it is not enough to undo the damage caused by the party’s thoughtless response to the Pahalgam terror attack. As the nation comes together to mourn the loss of lives and offer support to the families of the victims, it is essential that politicians refrain from exploiting tragedies for political gain and instead focus on providing constructive and meaningful leadership.
