Congress hits out Centre’s normalcy claims in J&K amid ‘grim’ security situation in Jammu region

The Congress on Friday accused the BJP-led Centre of misleading the country with claims of normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir while the security situation remains “grim” in parts of Jammu.

The party said this in the wake of a series of terror incidents, including a deadly encounter between terrorists and security forces in Kathua.

Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) chief Tariq Hameed Karra denounced the Centre’s assertions of peace and said recent events in Jammu have shattered any illusion of calm. PTI
