New Delhi: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi criticised the Narendra Modi government on Friday regarding the recent surge in terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. Posting in Hindi on X, Gandhi claimed that the policies of the NDA government have fallen short in bringing security and stability to the region.
“The news of the martyrdom of our brave soldiers in the cowardly attack on an army vehicle in Gulmarg, Jammu and Kashmir is extremely sad. Two porters also lost their lives in the attack. I pay my tribute to the martyrs and express my deepest condolences to all the bereaved families, ” Rahul Gandhi wrote in a post on X.
गुलमर्ग, जम्मू-कश्मीर में सेना के वाहन पर हुए कायराना हमले में हमारे वीर जवानों की शहादत का समाचार अत्यंत दुखद है। हमले में दो पोर्टर्स ने भी अपनी जान गंवा दी। शहीदों को नमन करता हूं और सभी शोकाकुल परिवारों के प्रति अपनी गहरी संवेदनाएं व्यक्त करता हूं।
केंद्र की NDA सरकार की…

“The policies of the NDA government at the Centre have completely failed to establish security and peace in Jammu and Kashmir. Contrary to their claims, the reality is that the state is living under the shadow of danger due to continuous terrorist activities, attacks on our soldiers and targeted killings of civilians,” he added. The Congress MP added that the BJP-led central government should promptly assume responsibility and work to restore peace in the Valley, prioritising the safety of both military personnel and civilians.
Terror attacks in J&K
Two soldiers and two civilians lost their lives when terrorists ambushed army vehicles in Jammu & Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Thursday. Officials said a convoy carrying personnel from a Rashtriya Rifles unit and civilian porters was en route to the Nagin post when terrorists fired at two army trucks near Gulmarg.
The attack follows a series of recent incidents, including the severe injury of a laborer from Uttar Pradesh in Pulwama and the October 24 killing of seven individuals in Ganderbal. Additional attacks occurred earlier this month in Shopian and Anantnag, with rising violence impacting both military and civilians in the state.
