Srinagar, Nov 2 (KNS): The president of the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) Tariq Hameed Karra, has voiced serious concerns regarding the recent surge in terror attacks in the valley.
Speaking to press Karra stated that the need for a thorough investigation into the intelligence lapses that may have contributed to the violence.
As per KNS correspondent, Karra pointed out that while security measures are crucial, there seems to be a significant gap in the intelligence grid that must be addressed. "The atmosphere being created now seems to differ from the context of these attacks. Those responsible for this violence do not desire peace in Jammu and Kashmir," he stated.
The timing of the attacks has raised suspicions for Karra, particularly following the peaceful elections held in the valley under the auspices of the Supreme Court. "After such a successful electoral process involving all stakeholders, the sudden onset of violence is not a coincidence.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelIt raises questions about the motives behind these acts," he remarked.
He further criticized the government's stance on statehood, rejecting the idea of "incomplete statehood." Reports suggesting that the Government of India may retain control over significant departments while offering a modified form of statehood have fuelled his concerns. "Any sensible person can question whether these circumstances are being engineered for that purpose," Karra asserted.
Karra urged the Indian government to prioritize peace in the region and called for an independent investigation to uncover the individuals or groups behind the recent violence. "If the government is genuinely interested in fostering a conducive environment for governance, transparency and accountability are essential," he concluded. (KNS)
