NEW DEHLI: Indian parliamentary delegations currently on foreign visits are facing a wave of sharp criticism on social media, with many users expressing frustration over what they perceive as a troubling disconnect between the delegations’ official mandates and their behavior abroad.
One of the most vocal criticisms has come in the wake of the recent tragic attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 people. Social media users have highlighted that none of the attackers have been apprehended, fueling widespread anger and concern. Against this backdrop, critics argue that while parliamentary delegations are meant to represent India’s stance on the international stage, they are instead being seen indulging in leisure activities.
Accusations have mounted on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, where users have claimed that the delegations are misusing public funds. Reports of politicians engaging in singing, partying, and other forms of entertainment during official trips have only added fuel to the fire, leading to questions about the seriousness with which these representatives are carrying out their diplomatic responsibilities.
The contrast between the severity of the terrorist threat and what many see as frivolous conduct has struck a nerve with a public increasingly impatient with what they perceive as government inefficiency and complacency. This criticism underscores a broader frustration with ongoing security concerns and the perception that the government is struggling to respond effectively to the threat of terrorism.
