NEW DELHI: The Congress on Tuesday expressed outrage following the deaths of four soldiers in an encounter with terrorists in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir.
In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi demanded that the government take full responsibility for the repeated security lapses and take strict action against those responsible.
“Today, our soldiers were martyred in another terrorist encounter in Jammu and Kashmir.I pay my humble tribute to the martyrs and express my deepest condolences to the bereaved families. Such horrific incidents happening one after the other is extremely sad and worrying. These continuous terrorist attacks are revealing the poor condition of Jammu and Kashmir. Our soldiers and their families are bearing the brunt of the BJP’s wrong policies. Every patriotic Indian demands that the government should take full responsibility for the repeated security lapses and take strict action against the culprits who harm the country and the soldiers. In this hour of grief, the entire country stands united against terrorism,” he said.
According to officials, four army personnel, including an officer, succumbed to their injuries after a gunfight with heavily armed terrorists in Doda district. This incident occurred just a week after five soldiers were killed and five others were injured in a terrorist ambush on an Army patrol in the remote Machedi forest belt of Kathua district.
Mallikarjun Kharge, the Congress president, expressed his deep distress over the martyrdom of the four brave soldiers. He conveyed his heartfelt condolences to the families of the fallen heroes and wished for a speedy recovery of the injured soldier. Kharge emphasized that no words of condemnation would suffice for the acts of violence perpetrated by the terrorists.
Kharge also highlighted the need for a careful recalibration of the security strategy in Jammu and Kashmir, given the spate of terror attacks in the past 36 days. He criticized the Modi government for acting as if everything was “business as usual” and urged them to acknowledge the changing situation, particularly in the Jammu region.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh pointed out that there have been 11 terror attacks in Jammu alone in the last 78 days, which is a wholly new development. He called for an effective collective response cutting across political parties while also questioning the grand claims made by the “self-anointed non-biological PM and the self-styled Chanakya.”
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra expressed her deepest condolences to the bereaved families and stated that the country will remain forever indebted to the brave soldiers and their families who made the supreme sacrifice.
Pawan Khera, the head of Congress’ media and publicity department, also criticized the government over the latest attack and demanded answers, stating that countries are not run on just slogans.
The latest gunfight in Doda district was the third major encounter between security forces and terrorists in the past three weeks.
The Jammu region, which had remained relatively peaceful between 2005 and 2021, has witnessed a spike in terror attacks over the past month, including an attack on a pilgrim bus that left nine persons dead and 40 injured.
