Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and People’s Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti have reacted to the terrorist attack on security forces in the Doda district on Monday evening, with the latter demanding accountability for the deteriorating law and order in the Union Territory.
"I am deeply anguished to learn about the cowardly attack on our Army soldiers and JKP personnel in Doda district,” LG Sinha said.
“ Tributes to brave soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice protecting our nation. My deepest condolences to members of the bereaved families," he posted on X.
"We will avenge the deaths of our soldiers and thwart the evil designs of terrorists and their associates,” he added.
The LG called upon the people to unite in the fight against terrorism and provide security services with accurate information to enable them to intensify anti-terror operations and neutralise the terror ecosystem.
On the other hand, PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti said there was lack of accountability when it came to the law and order situation.
“By now, heads should have rolled. The DGP should have been sacked. Almost 50 soldiers have lost their lives in the last 32 months," she said while addressing a press conference.
“The current DGP is busy fixing things politically. His job is to break the PDP, harass people and journalists, and threaten people,” Mufti alleged, adding,
“verification has been weaponised. They are finding ways to impose UAPA on maximum people."
"We don’t need a fixer here; we need a DGP. We have had DGPs from other states before, and they have worked very well. No one has worked on communal lines like things are being done now," she added.
On Monday, a terrorist attack resulted in the deaths of four soldiers who were part of the patrol team.
Security forces swiftly responded to the attack, and a search operation was launched in the area to apprehend the terrorists.
