"Not a single man's achievement...collective achievement of every Indian": Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury criticises PM Modi

New Delhi [India], May 30 (ANI): Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury on Fridayreacted to Prime Minister Modi's promise to raze the hideout of the mastermind behind terrorism, questioning how this could be a personal promise.
She emphasised that the response to terrorism is a collective effort, crediting the armed forces for their role.
"This is not a single man's achievement. It is the collective achievement of every Indian. Please, do not take individual credit for political gain," Chowdhury told ANI.
Chowdhury paid tribute to citizens living in border areas who face constant threats and praised the armed forces for their bravery. She highlighted that the fight against terrorism is not a single person's achievement but a collective effort by every Indian.
"How can this be your (PM Modi) promise alone? Were you aware of the Pahalgam attack beforehand? It is our armed forces who have given a fitting response--give them the credit. It is the citizens who continue to live in border areas despite constant threats--salute them. There are people who have stood firm in the face of fear," she further added.
This comes after PM Modi issued a stern warning to Pakistan for "sponsoring" terrorism and said that India would respond strongly to every terrorist attack.
He stated that India will not differentiate between state and non-state actors, and those responsible will be held accountable and punished, regardless of their location or affiliation.
"If I say this straight in Kanpuriya, dushman kahin bhi ho honk diya jayega," PM Modi said while addressing the gathering here.
Without mincing words, PM Modi emphasised that India will not be intimidated by hollow nuclear threats.
"India will not be scared of hollow threats of an atom bomb and won't take decisions on this basis (of such a threat). India will look at the 'aaka' of terrorism and its sponsoring government with only one view: Pakistan's state and non-state actors...this game will not work anymore," PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister laid down India's stand and its plan of action against terrorism, saying that any terrorist attack that happens, India will respond strongly to every terrorist attack, with the timing and terms of the response decided by the Armed Forces.
"In its fight against terrorism, India has decided on three rules: every terrorist attack will be answered strongly. The army will decide on how to answer and in what way to answer. The conditions to respond to a terrorist attack will also be decided by the army," PM Modi asserted. (ANI)
