NDA govt’s policies failed to establish peace: Rahul Gandhi

The Congress on Friday slammed the NDA government at the Centre over the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Gulmarg, saying its policies had completely failed to establish security and demanded that it should immediately take accountability as well as ensure the safety of Army personnel and civilians.

Two soldiers and two Army porters were killed in the attack on Thursday while another porter and a soldier were injured. Terrorists attacked a vehicle of the force 6 km from the tourist hotspot of Gulmarg in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.

The terrorists opened fire on the Army vehicle in the Bota Pathri area when it was headed for the Nagin post in Afrawat range. In a post in Hindi on X, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said, “The news of the martyrdom of our brave soldiers in the cowardly attack on an Army vehicle in Gulmarg, Jammu and Kashmir, is extremely saddening. Two porters also lost their lives in the attack. I pay my tribute to the martyrs and express my deepest condolences to the bereaved families.”
