'Why Are Our Jawans Dying If...': Mehbooba Mufti Lashes Out At Centre After Rajouri Attack

PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday reacted to the soldiers losing their lives in an encounter with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri area.

New Delhi: PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday reacted to the soldiers losing their lives in an encounter with terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri area.

Lashing out at the BJP-led central government, she asked why are the jawans losing their lives if the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is normal as claimed by the Centre.

On the loss of lives of four Army personnel, Mufti said, "When they (the Central govt) say that the situation in J&K is normal, then why are our jawans losing their lives?"

Mehbooba said it was heartbreaking to see officers and jawans lose their lives in the line of duty.

“Heartbreaking to see officers & jawans lose their lives in the line of duty despite GOIs misleading false claims that all is well in J&K. The price of this facade is being borne by them & innocent civilians who’ve become collateral damage in unabated violence. My deepest sympathies with their families & loved ones,” the PDP president said in a post on X.
