Poonch, May 24: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Tariq Hamid Karra on Saturday said that Poonch district in the Union Territory was the worst affected by Pakistan’s recent cross-border shelling.
Karra also said that Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, is visiting there to show solidarity with the affected people.
“Poonch has been the worst affected by Pakistani shelling… Rahul Gandhi is the first national leader to come here, and he is coming to show solidarity with the people. He will visit all the institutions that have been affected by the shelling… He will meet the civil society and talk to them, and then he will come to the Dak Bungalow,” Karra said.
He also asked why a “third country” announced the cessation of military action by India and Pakistan.
“We expect Pakistan to remain committed to the ceasefire, though questions have been raised – why did a third country announce it despite the government’s policy of no third-party intervention… We don’t know what they (Pakistan) might do next, so the security forces have to be alert,” he said.(AGENCIES)
