On Wednesday, Shiv Sena UBT leader Sanjay Raut criticised the government for its intelligence failure that resulted in the tragic terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. He urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to demand the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah as a consequence.

"Security of J-K was already in the hands of the Army, but the attack happened. Action should first be taken on the Home Department, as the government is repeatedly making mistakes. The Prime Minister should accept Amit Shah's resignation," Raut stated during a press conference in Mumbai, reported news agency ANI.
