(Source: PTI)Opposition parties today asked the government to introspect on its failure to prevent the “cowardly and ghastly” terror attack on Amarnath pilgrims despite advance intelligence inputs. “The government needs to introspect as to why, despite advanced intelligence inputs, was there a failure to prevent this attack?” the resolution said. “We the leaders of the Opposition parties strongly condemn the cowardly and ghastly terrorist attack on the Amarnath yatris,” the resolution said. The parties, the resolution added, extended their deepest sympathies to families of the victims with whom they stood in this hour of grief. Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said the leaders of 18 opposition parties observed a two-minute silence at the start of the meeting in memory of the Amarnath yatris killed in Kashmir.
