SRINAGAR, Jan 3: Former Union minister and veteran Congress leader Prof Saifuddin Soz has said that Modi Govt has failed to tackle the menace of terrorism.
“I have convinced myself that PM Modi’s assertion that his Govt had fought terrorism best, is not correct. Two main planks of the Modi Govt’s strategy to fight terrorism in Kashmir, has been to use more and more force. Modi Govt’s Chief of the Army has always been fond of surgical strikes on the LoC and the result of these strikes is before all of us,” Soz said in a statement here today.
“While the reality of this strategy is that the so-called surgical strikes have been happening from both sides of the border, in normal course. The new dimension is only ‘ the hype’. The other element of the new strategy is to use more and more force. 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,” Soz maintained.
