The Congress on Wednesday strongly criticized the BJP's ''hollow'' claims of restored peace and normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir. The critique follows three terrorist attacks in the region within the past three days, challenging the narrative of tranquility.

In-charge of media and publicity department for Congress, Pawan Khera, questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence, accusing him of prioritizing responses to Pakistani leaders over addressing these brutal attacks. Khera labeled the BJP's 'Naya Kashmir' policy as an abject failure, citing the party's reluctance to contest elections in the valley.

Incidents in Rajouri and Poonch districts, along with a grievous attack during the swearing-in of the Modi government, including the loss of 9 lives and 33 injuries, depict a grim picture. Khera slammed the Modi government for making national security a ''casualty,'' demanding accountability for the rising terror incidents and a more meaningful response from the Prime Minister.
