Rahul Gandhi meets Lt Narwal's family, demands justice for Pahalgam victims

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday visited the house of Lt Vinay Narwal in Karnal to condole the death.

Lt. Narwal was among the 26 people killed in the Pahalgam terror attack.

Gandhi remained with the family for around 90 minutes. However, the media was not allowed inside. When Rahul met the family, all Congress leaders remained outside.

After the meeting, Rahul did not speak to the media, but took to X to express his condolences and underline the need for national unity and justice for the victims.

“I met the bereaved family of Lt. Vinay Narwal ji who was martyred in the Pahalgam attack and shared their grief and consoled them,” Gandhi posted on X. He lauded the strength of the martyr’s family, saying, “Their courage and bravery even in the midst of immense grief is a message for the country—we have to remain united.”

He said, “The whole country stands with the families of the martyrs.”

Gandhi reiterated that the opposition is firmly aligned with the government on the matter of national security. “The opposition fully supports the government. The culprits should be punished in such a way that no one dares to raise an eye towards India.”

He demanded justice for the terror attack victims and said, “Today the entire nation, along with the victim families, is waiting for justice.”

Congress state-incharge BK Hariprasad, co-incharge Prafulla Vinod Rao, state president Udai Bhan, Rohtak MP Deepender Hooda and former MLA Sumita Singh were also present there.
