Owaisi slams BJP for inaction on Pakistan amid Jammu and Kashmir terror attacks

New Delhi: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its handling of recent terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking at an event in Telangana's Vikarabad, Owaisi questioned the BJP's stance on Pakistan and its response to the escalating violence in the region.

Owaisi's Remarks on BJP's Response to Terror Attacks

Owaisi pointed out the recent deaths of Indian soldiers due to cross-border terrorism and accused the BJP of not addressing the involvement of Pakistan. "More than 50 of our soldiers were killed by terrorists from across the border. Even today we have lost a soldier at the LoC. Why isn't the BJP taking name of Pakistan now? The attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda... Doda is way too far from the LoC, how did the terrorists reach there? The BJP, however, isn't talking about this," said the Hyderabad MP.

Recent Terror Incidents in Jammu and Kashmir

The criticism from Owaisi comes amid a surge in terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir. On Saturday, a soldier was killed and four others, including a Captain, were injured after the Indian Army foiled an attack by Pakistan's Border Action Team (BAT) in the Kamakari sector of Kupwara district. In response to the heightened terror threat, the Central government has ordered the relocation of over 2,000 Border Security Force (BSF) personnel from Odisha to Jammu and Kashmir.

This move aims to bolster security along the volatile India-Pakistan border. Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently chaired a high-level meeting with heads of various security and law enforcement agencies, including the BSF. Shah emphasized the need for increased engagement in the Multi-Agency Centre (MAC) to ensure coordinated action among all law enforcement, anti-drug, cyber security, and intelligence agencies.

Assurances from J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has assured that the situation in the Union Territory will return to normal within a few months. "Those who cannot digest the peaceful atmosphere here, they should be ready for their end. People here have given a befitting response to them before also. The situation demands so. I think the situation will be back to normal again in a few months," Sinha said.
