The Congress on Wednesday slammed the Central government over the three terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir in the past three days.
Rahul Gandhi said that the country wants to know why the people behind the terror attacks were not apprehended. “Narendra Modi is busy responding to congratulatory messages and cannot even hear the cries of the families of the devotees who were brutally killed in Jammu and Kashmir. There have been three separate terror incidents in the last three days in Reasi, Kathua and Doda in Jammu and Kashmir but the Prime Minister is still busy celebrating,” Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on social media platform X.
Congress leader and in-charge of media and publicity department Pawan Khera also questioned the silence of PM Modi on the matter, saying he has time to respond to Pakistani leaders, but no time to condemn the brutal terror attacks.
“BJP’s loudmouth chest-thumping and hollow claims of return of peace and normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir have been thoroughly exposed. The fact that BJP did not even bother to fight elections in Kashmir valley is a testament to the fact that their ‘Naya Kashmir’ policy is an abject failure,” Khera said in a statement.
“Even as Shri Narendra Modi and his NDA Government was swearing in, and heads of states were visiting the country, India suffered a horrific and gruesome terror attack in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir, where 9 precious lives were lost and at least 33 people were injured, when terrorist fired upon a bus filled with pilgrims from Shiv Khori Temple to Katra,” he further said.
“A spate of terror attacks has gripped Jammu and Kashmir in the past three days, whilst PM Modi is busy posting responses to congratulatory tweets by Pakistani leaders Nawaz Sharif and Pak PM PM Shahbaz Sharif. Why has he not spoken a single word on the dastardly terror attacks? Why has he maintained a stoic silence,” Khera asked.
“Is it not a fact that Pir Panjal Range Rajouri and Poonch has now become a hotbed of cross-border terrorism in the past 2 years, as over 35 soldiers have been martyred, following terror attacks in these areas in the past two years, alone? And now terror has also spread to neighbouring Reasi district, which was considered relatively peaceful,” he said.
