Doda Terror Attack: Hours after the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kasmir’s Doda district that claimed the lives of four jawans and one officer of Captain rank, reactions started to pour critcising the BJP-led Central government over the attack and asking it to take strict action against the culprits.

In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi said, “Today, our soldiers were martyred in another terrorist encounter in Jammu and Kashmir. I pay my humble tribute to the martyrs and express my deepest condolences to the bereaved families. Such horrific incidents happening one after the other is extremely sad and worrying.”
आज जम्मू कश्मीर में फिर से एक आतंकी मुठभेड़ में हमारे जवान शहीद हो गए। शहीदों को विनम्र श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित करते हुए शोक संतप्त परिजनों को गहरी संवेदनाएं व्यक्त करता हूं।
एक के बाद एक ऐसी भयानक घटनाएं बेहद दुखद और चिंताजनक है।
लगातार हो रहे ये आतंकी हमले जम्मू कश्मीर की जर्जर…

“These continuous terrorist attacks are revealing the poor condition of Jammu and Kashmir. Our soldiers and their families are bearing the brunt of BJP’s wrong policies. It is the demand of every patriotic Indian that the government should take full responsibility for the repeated security lapses and take strict action against the culprits who harm the country and the soldiers. In this hour of grief, the entire country stands united against terrorism,” he further stated.
The encounter broke out between security forces and terrorists in the Desa Forest area on Monday evening. The soldiers killed in action have been identified as Captain Brijesh Thapa, Naik D. Rajesh, Sepoy Bijendra, and Sepoy Ajay.
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti said on Tuesday that “no one is being held “accountable,” adding that by now the heads should have rolled.
“There is no accountability. By now, the heads should have rolled. The DGP should have been sacked. Almost 50 soldiers have lost their lives in the last 32 months. No one is being held accountable,” the PDP chief said, addressing a press conference in Srinagar.
She further said that the current DGP is busy fixing things politically. “The current DGP is busy fixing things politically. His job is to break the PDP, harass people and journalists, and threaten people. Verification has been weaponized. They are finding ways to impose UAPA on the maximum number of people. The Maulwi are being blackmailed. We don’t need a fixer here, we need a DGP. We have had DGPs from other states before and they have worked very well. No one has worked on communal lines like things are being done now,” she said.
