Oppn calls for united efforts to end terror menace, slams govt

After another terrorist attack in Jammu’s Doda district, which claimed the lives of four soldiers, the Opposition parties on Tuesday slammed the Central government and said that a united national effort is needed against crossborder terrorism.

Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge has vehemently condemned the cowardly act and criticised the Modi government’s response.

“Deeply distressed by the martyrdom of 4 brave Army soldiers, including an officer, in a terror encounter in Jammu & Kashmir’s Doda. Our heart goes out to the families of our bravehearts, who made the supreme sacrifice in the service of Bharat Mata,” Kharge said, expressing solidarity with the families of the fallen soldiers.

Kharge’s remarks underscored the gravity of the situation, emphasising the need for a recalibrated security strategy amidst the escalating violence in Jammu and Kashmir. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured, and we wish them a speedy and complete recovery. No words of strong and unequivocal condemnation will suffice for these acts of violence being perpetrated by cowardly terrorists,” he asserted, calling for a united national effort against crossborder terrorism.
