Shillong, April 28: At a time when the nation is reeling with grief at the gruesome murder of innocents in Pahalgam, when the world is stunned by the brutality of terrorists in Kashmir, here comes Congress with its typical anti national stance yet again.
The shutdown of businesses in Greater Shillong is meant to be voluntary, an act of solidarity with the grieving families who lost their loved ones in the terrorist act. Congress, however, is so far removed from the nation’s sentiment that it has no problems with opposing an act that reflects India’s collective sorrow.
Smt Susuki Pariat, President of Meghalaya BJP Mahila Morcha, stated, “As women we feel the pain of our sisters whose husbands were shot in front of their eyes in Pahalgam. As a nation we are shocked by such a despicable act; but Congress opposes an expression of grief by Shillong’s business owners through a shutdown that’s wilful and not coerced. The fact that this opposition comes from the Mahila Morcha of Congress, made up of wives and mothers, makes it all the more appalling.”
