Mallikarjun Kharge launches scathing attack on Modi Government over national security issues
New Delhi: Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, has criticized the Modi government for what he describes as a lack of attention to national security concerns.
In a recent post on X, Kharge raised several issues regarding India's security situation.
Kharge in his post claimed that China has built and operationalized a bridge connecting the north and south banks of Pangong Lake, potentially enhancing its strategic dominance near the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Additionally, he alleged that China has begun constructing a new village along the LAC in the Demchok sector, which, along with Depsang, remains a point of contention following the Galwan clashes.
On the matter of Pakistan, Kharge said that since Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed office, there have been 25 terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly affecting the Jammu region. These attacks have resulted in the deaths of 15 soldiers and injuries to 27 others.
He also noted a troubling spread of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism into three new districts—Doda, Kathua, and Reasi—and observed that civilian casualties in these incidents are at their highest in two decades.
Kharge argued that these issues are of utmost seriousness and require a unified and collective approach.
He criticized the Modi government for allegedly failing to keep Parliament informed and for focusing on what he perceives as false bravado and hollow propaganda, rather than addressing India's strategic interests.

Man arrested with Rs 2.54-crore heroin in Mumbai
Mumbai (PTI): Police have arrested a man and seized over 500 grams of heroin worth Rs 2.54 crore in the illicit market from him in Mumbai, officials said on Friday.
The police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) made the drug seizure in Santacruz in the western suburbs. The operation was conducted by the Kandivali unit of the ANC on Thursday as part of a special crackdown against drug trafficking in the area, they said.
Acting on specific inputs, an ANC team conducted a raid in Santacruz (East) and intercepted a man. During a search, the team recovered 508 grams of high-grade heroin from his possession, an official said.
The seized contraband, a highly addictive, opioid drug derived from morphine, is estimated to be worth Rs 2.54 crore in the international market, he informed.
Following the seizure, a case was registered against the man under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, and he was formally placed under arrest in the early hours of Friday.
The police are currently investigating the source of the drug and trying to identify the intended recipients of the consignment, he said.
