Four soldiers including an officer were martyred in an encounter with terrorists in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir on Monday night. In the last 78 days, about 11 terrorist attacks have taken place in the state. In just 30 days, 7 terrorist attacks have taken place in Jammu. Four soldiers including an army officer were martyred in a fierce encounter between the Indian Army and terrorists in Doda area on Monday night. With this, the number of martyred army soldiers in Jammu region has reached 48 in the last 32 months.

Will Pakistan's backbone need to be broken?

Apart from this, 23 civilians also lost their lives in the terrorist attack. What has happened suddenly in this area which has been peaceful for the last 5 years that the intentions of the terrorists have suddenly increased and the control of the army seems to be loosening. Why are people saying that the ceasefire agreement with Pakistan should be canceled immediately? This ceasefire is one-sided and meaningless, because Pakistan is infiltrating terrorists. It also supplies weapons to the terrorists. People are also remembering the statement of PM Narendra Modi in which he said that India now enters the house and kills. People are saying that infiltration of terrorists will not stop only by air strikes on terrorist hideouts, launch pads, training camps etc. Pakistan's back will have to be broken so that it cannot raise its head again.

Opposition attacks the Centre, Modi government remains silent

After the martyrdom of four soldiers in the terrorist attack in Doda, the opposition is attacking the central government. Leader of the opposition and senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said that our soldiers are becoming victims of terrorist attacks and the wrong policies of the government are directly responsible for this, terrorists are attacking secretly whenever they want. Our security forces are becoming victims of terrorist attacks but the central government is not doing anything in this direction. Only soldiers are seen getting martyred.

First of all, National Conference leader and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has given a big statement regarding the terrorist attack and Balakot air strike. Omar said, we have attacked before as well. Did the attacks stop? The government proudly claimed the attack on Balakot, but the terrorist incidents did not stop. This question was asked by the BJP.

BJP claimed that terrorism is linked to Article 370 and terrorist incidents will end after the removal of Article 370. But we used to say that there is no connection between terrorism and Article 370. Removal of Article 370 has not affected terrorist incidents, border control in Kashmir has not been as much as it should have been and infrastructure projects have not been done. Their intelligence is failing, which is a threat to security. Border security is also in danger. BJP is asking not to politicise the attack. BJP leader Prem Shukla says that this India alliance wants to feast on the sacrifice of soldiers. The citizens of India recognize such vultures as food. Terrorism is counting its last breaths. These vultures should consider not politicising these attacks.

Controversy over DGP's statement

On the other hand, Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police R.R. Swain has been embroiled in controversy over his statements on the increasing number of terrorist attacks. Addressing students at the Indian Institute of Management, Swain said that it has become common for leaders to visit the homes of slain terrorists and publicly condole their victims. Swain says that parties are also promoting the leaders of terrorist networks to gain political advantage. Naturally, local leaders will take offense to their words. Due to the so-called mainstream or regional politics in the valley, Pakistan has successfully infiltrated all important aspects of civil society.

Mehbooba Mufti is furious over the statement of the DGP. She said that the Director General of Police of Jammu and Kashmir has failed to maintain law and order. The Director General of Police is more interested in political matters rather than handling law and order, he is more busy in breaking the People's Democratic Party, harassing political party workers and harassing journalists.

accused of hurting feelings

She said that in the last 32 months, 50 army personnel have been martyred in various terrorist attacks but the Director General of Police has not been able to control kite flying and is only engaged in pleasing his political masters. Mehbooba Mufti also accused the Director General of Police of hurting communal sentiments. The National Conference has also condemned the DGP's statement.

What will happen after the assembly elections and removal of AFSPA?

Jammu and Kashmir has been peaceful for three years since the repeal of Article 370, due to which the central government had to systematically reduce the deployment of security forces in Jammu and Kashmir after the Lok Sabha elections. Only seven Armed Forces Special Powers Acts were also being considered to be abolished. There were plans to keep the Jammu and Kashmir Police at the forefront in everything from law and order to terrorism, but now it seems that all these plans will go in vain.

The assembly was to be formed in Jammu and Kashmir by the end of September 2024. This is both PM Modi's promise and the order of the Supreme Court. On the question of removing security forces from Kashmir, Home Minister Amit Shah said that work on this will start after the elections. We have prepared a complete action plan for this, we have strengthened the Jammu and Kashmir Police. The central forces will support them and tell them that not a single fake encounter has taken place in the last 10 years and whenever the security forces have broken the rules or done something wrong, action has been taken against them by registering an FIR. Amit Shah also said that the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections will be held before September and the Center will consider abolishing the Armed Forces Act there.

But former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is hopeful that elections will definitely be held, he says that assembly elections are a matter of Supreme Court order and I do not think the security situation is so bad that elections cannot be held. Elections were held here in 1996. Parliament elections were held in 1998 and 1999. I believe elections should be held. Regarding the withdrawal of security of some leaders, he said, it would have been better if this had been done on the basis of proper analysis and proper security assessment.

Will the Modi government take any decisive steps?

Just a few months before the elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that this is a new India and it does not bear the wounds of terrorism. In the last two terms, the Modi government has a record of always taking a tough stand against terrorism. Whenever Pakistan has initiated talks, the Indian government has made it clear that terrorism and talks cannot go together. In recent years, the army has been cracking down on terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir. The vigilance on the border was so tight that terrorists could not easily enter the Indian border.

Terrorist attacks have increased in the last few months but the government is not silent, in 2016 there was a terrorist attack in Uri, in response to which India carried out a surgical strike. In 2019 there was a terrorist attack in Pulwama, to which Balakot Air Force responded. Both times the government responded within 2 weeks. Therefore, we have to wait for a few days for action from the government.

The government is serious about the terrorist attacks in Kathua and Doda. It cannot be said when another surgical strike will be carried out on Pakistan, but the statement of the Defense Secretary should not be taken lightly. Defense Secretary Girdhar Armane has said that the death of five soldiers in the Kathua attack will be avenged. He said that India will destroy the evil forces behind it.
