'Terrorist didn't ask religion', says Congress minister on Pahalgam attack; BJP calls it insult to victims

Karnataka minister TB Thimmapur's remark, dismissing religious motives in the Pahalgam terror attack, ignited a political firestorm. His statement, contradicting victims' accounts, was seen as an attempt to downplay intelligence failures. The BJP strongly condemned the Congress, accusing them of shielding Pakistan and insulting the victims, while Chief Minister Siddaramaiah clarified his stance on avoiding immediate war with Pakistan.
