New Delhi: Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of “ruining the security system” in Jammu, the Congress said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should answer the question as to why the security situation there has deteriorated.
Party general secretary Jairam Ramesh wrote on the social media platform ‘X’ in view of Prime Minister Modi’s political rally in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday, “The Prime Minister is in Jammu today.

Why has drug trafficking increased rapidly under the administration of the Central Government? Why has the governance system in Jammu and Kashmir collapsed?”
He alleged that BJP claims its monopoly on nationalism, but it has ruined the security system in Jammu. Ramesh said, “Around the beginning of 2024, the administration claimed that the number of active terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir has come down to 31 with four active terrorists in Jammu region. Now, presenting a shocking figure, officials say there are around 50 to 60 terrorists who have infiltrated into the interiors of Jammu in April-May.”
The Congress leader said, “The increase in terrorist activity has had dire consequences. In the last few months, we have seen the presence of terrorists in areas that were declared terrorism free. The number of casualties on our security personnel and civilians has increased.”
“Around the time the ‘non-biological’ Prime Minister was taking oath, nine innocent pilgrims lost their lives in a terrorist attack in Reasi,” he said. Ramesh alleged that the Lieutenant Governor’s administration had failed to handle the security situation. Has shown incompetence.
He also said, “This situation has also been contributed to by the Ministry of Defense and its ill-conceived Agneepath scheme, which has systematically reduced interest in Army recruitment in Jammu despite Jammu historically being a major recruitment center for the Army.” Used to be.” He questioned why BJP allowed the security system in Jammu to weaken?
