Shillong, Apr 28: The state BJP has slammed the Congress for allegedly opposing the shutdown call given by business owners of Shillong on Modnay to express their solidarity with victims of the gruesome terror attack claiming 26 lives at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir.
According to BJP Mahila Morcha, the alleged opposition to the shutdown call came from Mahila Morcha of the Congress.
“At a time when the nation is reeling with grief at the gruesome murder of innocents in Pahalgam… here comes Congress with its typical anti-national stance yet again,” said Susuki Pariat, president of Meghalaya BJP Mahila Morcha.
She said the shutdown of businesses in Greater Shillong was meant to be voluntary, an act of solidarity with the grieving families, who lost their loved ones in the terrorist attack.
“As women we feel the pain of our sisters whose husbands were shot in front of their eyes in Pahalgam…The fact that this opposition comes from Mahila Morcha of Congress, made up of wives and mothers, makes it all the more appalling,” Pariat said.
“Anti-people and anti-national attitude seems to have ingrained itself in the DNA of Vadra-Gandhi Congress. How else does one explain the utterances of the MPMC president? She is only towing the lines of Manishankar Aiyyar and Saiffudin Soz who have practically given a clean chit to Pakistan,” she added.
