Following the heightened media attention in Pakistan regarding Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s remarks on not pursuing war with Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in 26 fatalities, the Karnataka BJP has criticized the CM for appearing to act as a “puppet” of the neighboring nation.

Leader of Opposition R. Ashoka shared a video from a Pakistani news channel featuring CM Siddaramaiah’s comments on his X account. Referring to him as “Pakistan Ratna,” Ashoka sarcastically stated in Kannada (translated loosely), “Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, you have unexpectedly gained fame in Pakistan because of your juvenile and nonsensical remarks.”

“Congratulations! If you ever visit Pakistan, you can expect a grand reception. It wouldn’t be surprising if the Pakistani government honors you with their prestigious Nishan-e-Pakistan award for being a great ambassador of peace.”

Ashoka emphasized that during such a sensitive period for the nation, where tensions are high at the border, the CM is acting like a “puppet” for the enemy. “Your presence in public life is one of our country’s greatest misfortunes,” he added.

In response to the discussion about retaliating against Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack, CM Siddaramaiah stated in Mysuru, “At this time, there is no need to declare war against Pakistan. We must implement stringent security measures instead. We advocate for peace, ensuring that people feel secure, and the Central government must take effective security measures.”

Addressing questions about the Central government acknowledging security lapses related to the Pahalgam attack, he remarked, “I have spoken about the security shortfalls that contributed to this tragedy. Proper arrangements were lacking at a tourist hotspot that draws large crowds. Given the previous loss of 40 soldiers in Pulwama, heightened vigilance was essential.”

He further articulated, “There were both intelligence and security failures. Many believed they were safe, but the Central government did not secure them. The trust placed in them has been betrayed.”

“No matter what measures are taken now, will the 26 lives lost in the Pahalgam attack be restored?” CM Siddaramaiah questioned.

When asked about the absence of security personnel at the site, he replied, “I’m not sure. I still need to speak with State Labour Minister Santosh Lad, who was dispatched to Kashmir for further information.” Minister Lad has since ensured the return of all stranded individuals from Karnataka.

On the subject of repatriating Pakistani nationals from the state, CM Siddaramaiah stated, “We will cooperate fully. We will provide information to the Central government and facilitate their return. I do not have precise data on the number of Pakistani nationals present in various cities of Karnataka, but there is a significant population in Bengaluru.”

Criticizing the Prime Minister, CM Siddaramaiah added, “The Prime Minister should have attended the all-party meeting called following the Pahalgam attack. They are misleading the public. Which matters more — the Bihar election campaign or the all-party meeting?”
