Hitting out at the BJP leadership, Mukesh Agnihotri, Deputy Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh, on Friday said that Pakistan sponsored terrorism has revived in the peaceful Jammu region and the BJP government has failed to control it.
He took stock of the situation particularly in the Doda and Kathua districts where nine Army soldiers, including a Captain and a JCO, were recently lost their life in two ambushes by terrorists. A CRPF jawan was also killed in the Hiranagar area of Kathua.
The focus of the terror groups in J&K has shifted from terror-infested Kashmir to the areas of Poonch and Rajouri falling in the Jammu district. Out of seven major terror attacks in the past couple of years, five attacks have taken place in the Jammu area – two in Poonch, one in Sunjawan, and one each in Nagrota, and Rajouri.
A BSF officer said that sweets were exchanged at five points on the International Border between the border guarding forces of the two countries.
The Supreme Court Friday dismissed the plea by two of the accused in the Kathua gang rape and murder case seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe.
