Ghar mein ghus kar marenge? Owaisi mocks PM Modi's claim after Doda encounter

New Delhi: Asaduddin Owaisi, the chief of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), slammed the Narendra Modi government following a deadly gunbattle in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir, where four Army soldiers, including a Major, lost their lives. Owaisi criticized PM Modi's previous statements on tackling terrorism. He said, "PM Modi used to say Ghar mein ghus kar marenge. What is this then? This is a failure of the government. They are unable to control terrorism. Whatever has happened in Doda is very dangerous."

Apart from Owaisi, several opposition parties also criticized the BJP-led government for the recent surge in terrorist attacks in the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

"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," he said.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge called for a strategic reassessment of security measures, emphasizing the need for a proactive approach in light of escalating attacks.
