Former union minister and senior Congress leader Prof Saifuddin Soz on Thursday said that the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi doesn’t know how to fight terrorism.
In a statement Soz said, “ I have convinced myself that PM Modi’s assertion that his government had fought terrorism best, is not correct. Two main planks of the Modi’s government to fight terrorism in Kashmir, have been to use ‘more and more’ force. Modi Govt’s Army Chief has always been fond of surgical strikes on the LOC and the result of the two ‘surgical strikes’ is before all of us.”
“The other element of the new strategy is to use more and more force. Well, this plank of the new policy has also failed as by admission of the local commanders and the J&K Police, it has established that fresh recruitment to the militancy, is a growing situation, by the day’! The figures of killings of civilians and forces had increased since 2014 as per the figures issued by MHA in August, 2018. The sooner PM Modi and his General realize the ground realities better its for them.”
