Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh on Friday said contrary to the Centre's claim, terrorism cases are on the rise in Jammu and Kashmir, and referred to the latest attack on an Army vehicle that led to the death of five soldiers.

The Rajya Sabha MP also raised concerns over what he claimed were Chinese markings on the cartridges recovered from the site of the attack.

The former Madhya Pradesh chief minister maintained terror activities were largely confined to the Kashmir Valley, but violent incidents are now taking place in new areas like Poonch in the Jammu region of the Union Territory, and this was a matter of concern.

Talking to reporters here, Singh said the Centre had claimed that scrapping Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir (the constitutional provision granted special status to J&K) in 2019 and demonetisation (2016) will help in fighting terrorism in the erstwhile state, but figures of Defence and Home Ministries suggest terror-related incidents have actually gone up since these measures were announced.

“A big attack took place in terrorism-free Poonch which is part of Jammu. Such incidents used to take place in Anantnag and Pulwana (in Kashmir Valley)… now terror attacks have started taking place in new areas,'' he said.

Five Army personnel were killed and another was seriously injured on Thursday after their vehicle caught fire following a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch.

The Army said the vehicle the soldiers were travelling in came under fire from unidentified terrorists and it caught fire because of the likely use of grenades.

“Cartridges recovered (in Poonch) have markings of China. This is a new thing that has come to light that such terror activities in India are seeing Chinese links,'' Singh said.

Slamming the Centre, Singh claimed the Defence Minister had accepted that China had captured Indian territory but the prime minister was proclaiming that no one had intruded into and seized our territory.

This means the prime minister has termed his own defence minister's statement as false, Singh alleged.

He also claimed a Gautam Adani firm with a Chinese director had entered the defence sector and questioned if this was not an issue of national security.

The Rajya Sabha member said Jammu has been a peaceful place and the terror attack there was disturbing.

In the last three years, 1,033 terror attacks have taken place in Jammu and Kashmir and 177 jawans have lost their lives, Singh said.

“In 2019, this number was 594 and in 2020, it was 244. Such attacks are on the rise and we are losing our soldiers,” the senior Congress leader added.

All in good stead for the G20 held in J+K?

Earlier Muslims were only targetting security forces. Now they are targetting Hindu labourers as well local Pandits.

Modi should give up Kashmir if he doesn't have the courage to carry out an ethnic cleansing of Muslims.

 

[Burnol_Wala]

the number of casualties due to terrorism in India has been falling drastically while in Pakistan it has risen many times, facts don't lie, ccp bots here can keep posting senseless comments by opposition leaders, OP must be jealous they don't have a democracy or room for dissent, either you are a communist bot or in jail.

Or here.

where there is a problem anywhere, it must be China's fault.

Lol, yes, we Chinese are extremely jealous of India and Indian people.

It used to be us. Now we are no longer good enough for indians to blame

Lol, yes, we Chinese are extremely jealous of India and Indian people.

Of course, only one of those two nations have satellites and internet 5000 years ago and it wasn't China.

"Cartridges recovered (in Poonch) have markings of China. This is a new thing"

He's Digvijav Singh, longtime congress guy

Pragya Singh Thakur, the Malegaon blast accused and Bhopal BJP candidate, trounced Congress stalwart Digvijay Singh by a huge margin of 3,64,822 votes in the Bhopal Lok Sabha seat.

he's a known chootiyaa.

hard to say but "cartridge markings" mean nothing

gangsters get their hands on beretta m9s too.. doesn't mean Italy is complicit.

-------------------

if anything, probably Pk intel dropping them here. This would make the most sense. Seizures of the China license manufactured type 56 (AK47) are very common from Kashmiri militants.

Agree with the first part but can you guys please make up your mind about Pakistan-sponsored atankwaad? At this point, even we are not sure if we're doing it or not?

 

[Neelo]

The inability of Indians to admit Kashmiris just hate them is astounding. This is why I support Pakistan pushing for the Line of Control to become the official border.

GB becomes the 5th province.
IOK continues to revolt.

Regardless, Kashmiris will never accept India. It's argued if they want to join Pakistan or become independent (that's debatable) but one thing for sure is Kashmiris reject India through and through.

 

[mulj]

Those liers do not wish that their wishes come true regarding chinese involment.
Thez simply should stop sprewding lies ajd acknoledge that no one sane would like to lives under pajeets rule.

 

[Olympus81]

State terrorism is on the rise in J&K.

The Kashmiris are locals and fighting an invading army.

According to this Hindu, everything this guy says can be dismissed because he lost in an election to a Hindu terrorist.

Fairly obvious where they get those arms from. There's literally only one suspect. There have been some instances where police have absconded with their assigned firearms and are suspected to have gone on and joined the militants but its an uncommon occurrence.

China is probably providing materials support to insurgent groups in the NE, but those have mostly been quelled at this stage by the IA, but only after having taken some losses there as well.

Pk army and intel is grappling with other political issues for now, so there's an apparent lull in insurgent activity for now. Let's see how the G-20 thing goes.

Opportunity to embarrass India bhi hai, and khud k paer p kulhadi ka bhi scene hai.. 50 - 50

According to this Hindu, everything this guy says can be dismissed because he lost in an election to a Hindu terrorist.

I repeat, the magazines recovered being stamped made in China means nothing.

You'd so badly like to believe that your 'deeper than ocean' bro has now thrown its lot in with the Kashmiri freedom fighters, wouldn't you ?

We've been recovering type 56s since forever from slain militants.
