POONCH: Vikar Rasool Wani, the head of the Jammu and Kashmir Congress, criticised the BJP government for its “failure” in maintaining security and voiced serious concerns over the resurgence of militancy in the union territory, particularly in the border districts of Rajouri and Poonch. Speaking to a gathering of district-level party workers in Poonch, he further said that the Centre was neglecting to address issues that affected people, including as unemployment and underdevelopment. “It is really concerning that militancy is resurrecting in Rajouri, Poonch, and other border areas.The BJP government’s shortcomings in the security domain have contributed to the resurgence of militancy, the speaker stated. He claimed that the politics of the BJP were polarising and predicated on hatred and division. He declared that the BJP-RSS’s plans to divide people along religious and regional lines would be defeated by the Congress. “The BJP government, instead of focusing on development and protection of people, especially in border areas, is out to mislead people,” he stated. “…the Centre’s failure on the security front has led to the militancy revival, which is a matter of grave concern and should work as an eye-opener for BJP leaders who are only making tall claims and praising the Modi government for nothing,” he stated.According to Wani, the Congress would do everything within its power to guarantee that the populace lives with dignity. Raman Bhalla, the working president of the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee, criticised the BJP during his speech and charged it with misrepresenting the public.
