"Busy in finishing opposition...": Sanjay Raut slams Amit Shah over terror attacks in J-K

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut lashed out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah following a series of terror attacks in the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir and alleged Shah of not doing his work and being busy in "finishing opposition".

Hitting out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the series of recent terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut alleged that the former Bharatiya Janata Party chief was busy in "wiping out the opposition." Raut also claimed that during Shah's entire tenure as Home Minister, the "highest number" of security forces and civilians were killed in Jammu and Kashmir.

Two separate terror attacks were reported from Doda and Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir in the late hours of Tuesday. "In Amit Shah's tenure, terrorism never stopped. Since he took over as Home Minster, terrorism kept happening in Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur. But such news was restricted from reaching to people," the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader told reporters here today.

Raut added, "In Amit Shah's tenure, the highest number of security forces and civilians got killed in Jammu and Kashmir. When he was taking oath in Delhi, 10 people were killed. Today, again CRPF jawans were killed. Instead of doing his work, he is busy finishing opposition. If he will put all his efforts into eliminating terrorists, then this will be good for the nation." Further, the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader urged chief ministers of Bihar and Andhra Pradesh Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu to seek the resignation of Amit Shah.

"Chief Minister's (Manipur) convoy attacked by Naxals, the country is in danger from Amit Shah who is again Home minister in Modi government. Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu must seek Amit Shah's resignation because the government is formed with their support," Raut said. On Tuesday Six security personnel -- Five jawans and a sub-divisional special police officer (SDPO) sustained injuries in the encounter that broke out in Doda. Terrorists opened fire at a joint checkpost of police and Rashtriya Rifles at an army base in the Chattargala area on the Bhadarwah-Pathankot road.

One Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Jawan and one terrorist were killed in another encounter in Kathua district that broke out after ultras attacked a house in Saida Sukhal village in Hiranagar. On Sunday at least 9 people were killed after terrorists opened fire on a bus, carrying pilgrims, which plunged into a gorge in Reasi following the attack.

The Jammu and Kashmir police have said that the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba is believed to be behind the attack. J-K police have formed 11 teams to investigate the attack. A team from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) assessed the situation in Reasi on Monday and the NIA's forensic team is working on collecting evidence. (ANI)
