Blaming opposition for hunger is ‘delusion’, Atiku tells Tinubu Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu of blaming the opposition for the country’s economic hardship. He said the President was trying to evade responsibility for his administration’s policies. Tinubu had earlier on Saturday blamed his political opponents for hunger and poverty in the country while speaking at the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna. “I hear my opponent talking about hunger, poverty. Who created it? They did! They created the hunger, they created the poverty. We are trying to eradicate it,” the President said.

ADDRESSING A RALLY IN RANCHI, JHARKHAND ON TUESDAY, CONGRESS PRESIDENT MALLIKARJUN KHARGE CLAIMED PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI CANCELLED HIS APRIL 19 VISIT TO SRINAGAR AFTER RECEIVING CREDIBLE INTELLIGENCE ABOUT A POSSIBLE TERRORIST ATTACK IN THE VALLEY. (PHOTO).


 Addressing a rally in Ranchi, Jharkhand on Tuesday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge claimed Prime Minister Narendra Modi cancelled his April 19 visit to Srinagar after receiving credible intelligence about a possible terrorist attack in the valley. 

Kharge alleged that an intelligence report was sent to the PM three days before the April 22 Pahalgam attack that left 26 people, mostly tourists, dead.


Reacting to Kharge’s remarks, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad called the statement “irresponsible” and accused the Congress of displaying duplicity in its stance on terrorism. He criticised the Congress for politicising national security issues.


Kharge made the statement at a time when several districts are preparing for a civil defence mock drill scheduled on May 7, following a late-night directive from the Home Ministry on May 5. India has since announced multiple punitive measures against Pakistan, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.


Despite the criticism, Kharge reiterated the Congress party’s support for the government’s actions against Pakistan. “Congress stands with the government for any action against Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack. The country is supreme,” he said.
