New Delhi: After massive backlash, the Congress on Tuesday deleted the controversial post on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which criticised PM Modi for "not taking the responsibility" for the "security lapse" that led to the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.
Earlier in the day, Bhartiya Janata Party from its official X account reacting to the post said, "Congress flaunts a headless kurta to echo the extremist 'Sar Tan Se Juda' slogan, exposing its continuous slide into Muslim League 2.0 — divisive, desperate, and directionless. Now that PM Shri @narendramodi has spoken the only language Pakistan understands, Islamabad’s official handles are parroting the same beheading cry, laying bare their jihadist creed. Let Pakistan and its fellow-travellers in @INCIndia threaten all they wish; New India will neither bend nor break. Terror will be met with bullets, not biryani. This is the era of decisive leadership."
The post was uploaded on the official X handle of the Indian National Congress on Monday evening.

Congress Defends Post
Minutes before the post getting deleted, speaking to news agency ANI, Congress' spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said the poster was Inspired by the poster of the film 'Gayab'.
"There is no name of Modi ji in the picture, there are no hands or legs either Then why did BJP remember Modiji after seeing the word 'missing'? Does BJP also feel that Modiji is missing during this disaster?" she said.
Reportedly, Congress social media head Supriya Shrinate was asked to delete the post and was pulled up by the leadership for allowing content that deviated from the party line.
