JAMMU : Jammu and Kashmir Assembly session was today rocked by the early morning Fidayeen attack in Kathua in which six people including two militants, two CRPF men, a cop and a civilian were killed.
The opposition members sought explanation from the government on the incident.
The issue was raised by the National Conference MLA Devender Singh Rana who wanted to know about the steps being taken by the government to thwart the attack.
“The House wants to know how the militant attack took place, how the militants were able to launch this attack,” Mr Rana said.
Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh, meanwhile, in a reply informed the House that two or three heavily armed militants managed to enter the Rajpora Police station in Kathua and were holed up in the police station.
“Police and CRPF have cordoned off the area and firing is on,” he said.
Opposition members from National Conference and Congress however, termed the answer “unsatisfactory”. And criticised the government for being “ill-informed”. CPM MLA M Y Tarigami also condemned the attack and said the House needed to show a united face in condemning such tragedies and expressed sympathy with the families of those killed in the attack.
