Centre failing to curb terrorism: Congress

Jammu, Nov 8: The Pradesh Congress Committee on Friday expressed grave concern over rising terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir and accused the BJP-led Centre of failing to contain terrorism despite its Union Territory status.

The party also accused the BJP of diverting attention from core issues such as terrorism, unemployment and statehood restoration, including empowering the elected government.

"We are concerned over rising terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir. The BJP-led Centre has failed to contain terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir under its Union Territory status. It is diverting attention from core issues such as terrorism, unemployment and the restoration of statehood," Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma told reporters.

He also condemned the killings of two Village Defence Guards in Kishtwar on Thursday, questioning the BJP-led Centre's inability to curb terrorism.
