JAMMU, Nov 30: Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) has termed the statement of senior BJP leader and Dy CM, Dr Nirmal Singh over one of the most “deadliest” and “bloodiest” Fidayeen attack on Tuesday near Jammu as outrageous and insult to the martyrs.
Reacting sharply to the statement of Dr Singh wherein, he tried to downplay the terror attack at Nagrota, PCC has said that the BJP leader is insensitive to the sentiments of the people and the supreme sacrifices of our officers and jawans who laid down their lives while repulsing one of the deadliest attacks in which two senior Army officers and five others Army men have been martyred so far.
” Fidayeen attack, especially in the high sensitive zone of 16 Corps Hqrs at Nagrota, is an eye opener of the designs of the enemy, putting big question mark on the security apparatus and sense of security amongst the people,” a PCC spokesman said.
The series of militant attacks on Army installations at the behest of Pakistan and continued ceasefire violation post surgical strike, whose number is more than 300 have multiplied manifold, causing huge loss of lives of forces and civilians, is a cause of great concern. The Modi Govt’s policies to deal with Pakistan effectively have proved to be hollow and yielded no results, so far, the spokesman added.
The soldiers are getting martyred and their bodies being mutilated by the Pakistan and militants, while the only answer from the Govt is that a befitting reply is being given , while the State Govt simply describes it as a minor incident and desperation of Pakistan. It is true the talks and terror can’t go together but there are voices from within the State Govt itself for initiating peace initiatives, following the approach of Vajpayee, whereas Pakistan continue to export terrorists.
Meanwhile, the PCC paid rich tributes to the brave officers and soldiers who laid down their lives and eliminated the terrorists at the cost of their lives.
