Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president YS Sharmila has alleged that the Pahalgam terror attack is a result of “negligence and security failure”, which the “BJP is deviating”.

Taking out a candle light rally in solidarity with the 26 people who were gunned down by terrorists, she accused the RSS of allegedly creating the impression that a religion is being attacked.

“This is an attack on our country…and there is negligence and security failure behind it. The BJP is diverting this matter,” Sharmila in a release on Friday, adding that “Muslims were also there among the deceased victims”.
