In the last 2 years nearly more than 50 of brave soldiers lost their lives in encounters with terrorists in J&K . The unending issue of terrorism in Kashmir since independence is not able to be to extinguished by successive governments and of course BJP is no exception. The emerging pattern is particularly alarming as it flies in the face of the centre’s claim that terror activities have come down since abrogation of Article 370 , ending the special status to J&K . Infact several areas in Jammu have seen a surge in terror strikes since 2021. The Doda encounter came a week after Kathua tragedy when5 soldiers were killed in an ambush. The Jammu region, known for its peaceful atmosphere has been shaken in the recent months.In an Editorial yesterday “ Terror in J&K : will PM walk the Talk”? was very apt . We recall BJP’s election slogan that POK will be restored in India in six months time after assuming 3.0 charge . Possibility looks bleak and obscure .
