Himachal CM Sukhu should resign over Pahalgam attack: Congress-ruled Jharkhand minister’s gaffe shocks all
Jharkhand minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu, part of the Congress alliance-led state government, has demanded the resignation of Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu over Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 persons, mostly tourists, were gunned down on Tuesday.
For his his poor knowledge, Sudivya Kumar Sonu has been brutally trolled.
His remarks triggered widespread amusement and criticism with many saying how was it possible the minister was not aware of where the attack took place and who Sukhu is?
Addressing media in Lohardaga, Sonu condemned the terror attack in Pahalgam.
But what shocked all was when he said, “This is an extremely unfortunate incident. Himachal CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu must take responsibility and resign. He has failed to protect citizens.”
Social media users were flooded with funny replies that even Google Maps might be second-guessing itself after Sonu’s comments.
Memes circulated wildly, with many tagging his brand of politics as “sensation over sense.”
The attack itself, which happened in Kashmir’s picturesque Baisaran, a major tourist destination, was condemned across the country.
But the demand for Himachal’s CM to step down has confused even political analysts, who called it “a geography fail of epic proportions.”
How do you manage to keep such clueless clowns in your party, @HemantSorenJMM @JmmJharkhand? Not that we expect much from a gang of illiterates, but this level of ignorance is shocking. Your minister doesn’t even know where Pahalgam is? Sack this ignorant fool, @kumarsudivya.

Sudivya Kumar Sonu is a senior leader from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), part of the ruling coalition with Congress in the state. Apparently, among others, the minister also holds key portfolio of Tourism.
