India News | SP's Dharmendra Yadav Slams Govt on 'intelligence Failure'

New Delhi, Jul 28 (PTI) Samajwadi Party leader Dharmendra Yadav on Monday claimed that "intelligence failure" from Jammu and Kashmir to the central government was behind the Pahalgam terror attack and questioned the Centre over US President Donald Trump's 'ceasefire' claims.

Yadav's certain remarks led to a war of words between the opposition and treasury benches with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman pressing the Chair to expunge his claims.

Sitharaman said despite Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar making India's stand clear, the SP leader was making untrue statements.
