J&K attacks expose BJP’s tall claims of peace: Congress
The Story in Brief
Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Tariq Karra on Saturday, 14 November 2026 said recent attacks in the Valley had exposed the Centre’s ‘tall claims of peace’ and that ‘everything is hunky-dory’ in the Union Territory. Speaking at a party function, Karra cited the attack on CRPF personnel in Kulgam on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, and the killing of two Special Police Officers in Kishtwar as evidence that the security situation remained a concern.
Karra criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah for citing open markets, functioning schools and the absence of strikes as signs of normalcy, alleging such claims overlooked the ground situation. ‘Such incidents expose the tall claims of the BJP… It is a failure of the security apparatus and the policies adopted by the government of India,’ he said. Karra described the calm as ‘deceptive’.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Times of India and National Herald carry Karra’s remarks in near-identical language, giving the Congress charge full weight without counterpoint from the government. The two outlets agree on every fact: the Kulgam and Kishtwar attacks, the ‘deceptive calm’ framing and Karra’s dismissal of Kangana Ranaut’s comments. Neither outlet introduces government spokespersons or data on recent violence trends, so the coverage is uniform straight reporting of a party statement. The story itself leaves open whether the Centre will respond to the Congress charge or offer its own security assessment.
