Omar Abdullah Criticizes Central Government Over Terrorism Surge in J-K

National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah criticizes the BJP-led central government for neglecting security in the Jammu region of J-K, leading to a resurgence of terrorism. Speaking at a rally in Kathua district, he emphasized that areas once freed from terrorism are now reeling under fear and called for more attention to security measures.

National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led central government over its handling of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir's Jammu region. Abdullah claimed areas previously freed from terrorism are now sinking back into fear due to the government's 'utter neglect' of security.

During a public rally in the Bani area of Kathua district, Abdullah argued that the government's assertions of fostering a new, peaceful Jammu and Kashmir are not reflected in reality. He pointed out that people in erstwhile peaceful areas are now demanding weapons and more army personnel are being reinducted into these regions.

Recalling his tenure, Abdullah highlighted that there were no militant attacks in Bani when he served as J-K chief minister. He criticized the current administrators for failing on the security front and noted that recent reports indicate rising terrorism in several districts of the Jammu region.
