Srinagar: Law Minister of India, Ravi Shankar Prasad while comparing the number of militants killed during the UPA regime and against the number killed during the BJP’s rule, said that the statistics themselves show what efforts NDA has taken to curb terrorism in the valley.
Prasad was reacting to the comments made by Congress’s Ghulam Nabi Azad that anti-terror operations under the PDP-BJP rule resulted in more civilian deaths than militant killings.
Number of terrorists killed in Jammu & Kashmir:
In 2012- 72
In 2013- 67
In 2014- 110
In 2015- 108
In 2016- 150
In 2017- 217
In 2018 (till May)- 75
This is the story of efforts made during UPA and NDA regimes to fight terrorism in J&K. pic.twitter.com/qrVWiY6y49— Ravi Shankar Prasad (@rsprasad) June 22, 2018
However, former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in reaction has said that the BJP should be embarrassed by such stats. He also said that these numbers show that how BJP facilitated the comeback of militancy and violence in the state.Actually minister sahib this tells the story of how your government allowed militancy & violence to re-emerge in J&K forcing the security forces to kill more terrorists. You should be embarrassed by these statistics not be claiming them as some achievement. https://t.co/7YmMkLTmR2
