NEW DELHI, July 16, 2024 (TBINN)
Congress today attacked the Centre after four soldiers were killed in an encounter in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda, with Rahul Gandhi asserting that the government should take full responsibility for the repeated security lapses and take strict action against the culprits.
Notably, four Army personnel, including an officer, died after being injured in a gun-fight with heavily armed terrorists in Doda district, officials informed today.
The latest incident comes a week after a terrorist ambush on an Army-patrol in the remote Machedi Forest Belt in Kathua District claimed lives of five soldiers and injured as many.
Congress’ leader Rahul Gandhi also said such horrific incidents one after the other are extremely sad and worrying and that Army soldiers and their families are bearing the brunt of “B.J.P.’s wrong policies”.
Congress’ president Mallikarjun Kharge said he was deeply distressed by the martyrdom of the four brave soldiers, including an officer.
“Our heart goes out to the families of our bravehearts, who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of Bharat Mata. Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured, and we wish him a speedy and complete recovery,” Mallikarjun said.
No words of strong and unequivocal condemnation will suffice for these acts of violence being perpetrated by cowardly terrorists, Mallikarjun stated
“The spate of terror attacks that has gripped Jammu and Kashmir in the past 36 days, needs careful recalibration in our security strategy. The Modi Government is acting as if everything is ‘business as usual’ and nothing has changed. They must know that increasingly the Jammu region is bearing the brunt of these attacks,” Mallikarjun Kharge said.
“We cannot endanger our national security by indulging in false bravado, fake narratives and high-decibel whitewashing. As a nation, we have to collectively fight the scourge of cross-border terrorism,” Mallikarjun underlined.
“The Indian National Congress stands strongly with our valiant Armed Forces,” Kharge reconfirmed.
Former Congress’ president Rahul Gandhi paid tributes to the martyrs and expressed his deepest condolences to the bereaved families.
“These continuous terrorist attacks are reflecting the deteriorated condition of Jammu and Kashmir. Our soldiers and their families are bearing the brunt of BJP’s wrong policies,” Rahul Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X.
“It is the demand of every patriotic Indian that the government should take full responsibility for the repeated security lapses and take strict action against the culprits of the country and the soldiers,” Rahul Gandhi demanded.
“In this hour of grief, the entire country stands united against terrorism,” Rahul Gandhi maintained.
