Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai launched a scathing attack on Congress, accusing the party of attempting to revive separatism and violence in Jammu & Kashmir.
Protests erupted on Sunday in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district after a civilian driver was killed during an Army ambush the previous day, a police official said.
The victim, Asif Iqbal, was injured when an Army ambush party fired at a vehicle in Thandipora village on Saturday evening following reports about the presence of militants in the area.
“He was hospitalised but succumbed to critical injuries,” the official added.
