Rahul, Robert Vadra naïve, claims Digvijaya's brother; slams Omar Abdullah after Pahalgam attack

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh's brother and former MLA Lakshman Singh on Friday tore into the leadership of his party in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack and asserted Rahul Gandhi and Robert Vadra were naïve.

He said he did not mind getting expelled from the party for these statements since the security of the country was paramount for him.

Lakshman Singh, a Congressman who has had a stint with the BJP, also claimed Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah "may be in cahoots" with terrorists.

During a condolence meeting organised in Raghogarh to pay tribute to those who died in Tuesday's attack, Lakshman Singh said, "Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah may be in cahoots with terrorists. In such a situation, the Congress should withdraw support from the National Conference government (in the Union Territory). I am going to write to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge in this regard."

Lakshman Singh also came down heavily on the statements of Gandhi and Vadra post the attack.

"Robert Vadra's statement that the terrorists attacked because they did not allow Muslims to offer namaz on the road is not only irresponsible but also a statement that poses a threat to the security of the country. I am saying all this in front of the camera, so that no one is confused. Congress should think 10 times before speaking, otherwise the public will answer in the elections," he said.

"Rahul Gandhi and Robert Vadra are naïve. The country is suffering the consequences of their immaturity," he added.
