Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge claimed Prime Minister Narendra Modi canceled a scheduled Kashmir visit after receiving an intelligence alert about a possible terror attack. The alleged intel came three days before the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 tourists. Kharge criticized the Centre's handling of the alert, questioning the lack of preventive measures despite prior warning. He stated the government admitted to security lapses during an April 24 all-party meeting. Reports also indicate the PM's April 19 Kashmir trip was postponed due to adverse weather. Kharge demanded accountability, highlighting serious gaps in preparedness despite forewarning. (PC: India Today)
