Opposition leaders belonging to the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc targeted the BJP for holding G-20 “celebrations” and felicitating Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the BJP headquarters on a day when terrorists killed security personnel in Jammu and Kashmir.
On Wednesday, three soldiers and a police officer were killed in a gun battle with terrorists in the Garol area of Anantnag district. The deceased included Colonel Manpreet Singh, the commanding officer of 19 Rashtriya Rifles, Major Ashish Dhonack, rifleman Ravi and Deputy Superintendent of Police Humayun Bhat.
Several Opposition leaders took to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to voice their criticism, while the Congress held a press conference and started the proceedings by observing two-minute silence in memory of the martyrs.
