Congress or the Indian National Congress (INC) is one of two major political parties in India. It was founded in 1885 and played a leading role in India’s Independence movement. It has ruled during most of India’s independent years and gave the country its first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Leadership of the Congress too has been dominated by the Nehru-Gandhi family.
The Congress is a center-left party, and lists on its website democracy, nationalism, secularism, inclusive growth and social justice as its core values. It last ruled India between 2004 and 2014, but has since lost its sway, being reduced to just 52 seats in the 2019 General Elections. INDIA, the alliance headed by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, was an attempt to bring together opposition parties against the BJP government for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Together, the INDIA Alliance secured 238 of the 543 seats in the Lok Sabha. The Congress won 99 of these.
There was magnificence, majesty in the manner Prime Minister India Gandhi strode into the Nixon – Kissinger White House. That was, however, a different situation altogether. A nation waiting to be born, ten million refugees straining India’s resources. A short, swift military victory. An adversary sliced in half. 2. One act of terrorism, however cowardly, should not lead to a subcontinental war between now nuclear armed adversaries. The war hysteria drummed up by the channels does not serve India’s interests in any manner. 3. It is fantastic that the Trump administration, initially a little aloof, immersed itself fully in peacemaking efforts and delivered a ceasefire in 48 hours. Much needed.
These people are the ones to talk! Shameless creatures!
What did they do when 26/11 attacks took place? Not a single bullet was fired even at the LoC. The armed forces wanted to take action and senior military leaders repeatedly asserted that they were prepared. But the Congress-Left political eco-system simply buckled under US pressure.
Yes. The party that under US pressure declined to take any action following the heinous atrocities 26/11 is now playing the war bugle! There should be a law mandating that the children of all MPs would have to serve 2 years compulsory military service after reaching 18 years. Let them put their wards where their words are. Then we will see how many war mongers are actually present. Its easy to make fiery speeches that places others’ children in the line of fire while their own enjoy foreign education at tax payers money or ill-earned bribes!
