BJP Challenges NC, PDP, and Congress to Open Debate on Kashmir Security

The BJP has challenged the NC, PDP, and Congress to an open discussion on terrorism and public security, criticizing their records in Jammu and Kashmir. BJP's Tarun Chug highlighted reductions in violence and terrorism since Article 370's abrogation and accused the opposition of fostering unrest.

The BJP on Thursday issued a challenge to the NC, PDP, and Congress for an open debate concerning terrorism, violence, and public security in Jammu and Kashmir, while criticising their governance during the 1990s unrest.

Emphasising zero tolerance for terrorism and civilian casualties, BJP J-K In-charge Tarun Chug said, ''I challenge the Gandhi-Nehru, Abdullah, and Mufti families to a debate on the state of terrorism, security, and civilian safety during their tenure and ours, and on Article 370 and 35 A.''

Chug asserted that significant drops in terrorism and law and order issues have occurred since August 5, 2019, when Article 370 was revoked. He also called out the opposition parties for their alleged role in encouraging violence and unrest.
