Bengaluru, April 27: Amid Pakistan media playing up his “no need for war” comments over the Pahalgam terror attack, and BJP’s criticism, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday clarified that he did not say complete no to war, but meant there should be war only if it is inevitable, as it is not the solution. Asserting that it was the duty of the Central government to provide security to tourists at Pahalgam, he reiterated his stand that there were lapses in this regard, and failure on the part of the intelligence in preventing the incident. It will not be surprising if the Pakistani government honours you with the highest civilian award, the Nishan-e-Pakistan, as a great peace ambassador who has advocated for Pakistan,” he said in a post on ‘X’, with a clipping of a Pakistani news channel playing up Siddaramaiah’s statement.
