BJP Rajya Sabha MP Ram Chander Jangra courted controversy on Saturday with his remarks on the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 people in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district. Speaking at an event marking Ahilyabai Holkar’s 300th birth anniversary, the BJP leader said tourists should have resisted the terrorists and blamed the women who lost their husbands, saying they lacked the spirit of “veerangna” (warrior women). Jangra added that had the tourists undergone Agniveer training, casualties could have been avoided. “They folded hands instead of fighting,” he said. The BJP MP also claimed that if the women had read about Holkar’s legacy, they could have defended their husbands. His comments have triggered backlash for being insensitive towards the victims. Later, defending his stance, Jangra reiterated that fighting back could have saved lives, stating, “Terrorists don’t spare anyone just because you beg.” Comedian Daniel Fernandes Calls Operation Sindoor a ‘Military Offence’, Says India Has ‘Surplus of Hate’ in Comedy Special ‘The Kashmir Terror Attack’ (Watch Video).
