New Delhi: The Congress hit out at the Centre on Wednesday over the deaths of soldiers in recent terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, saying the Modi government will have to answer for the "intelligence failure". Four soldiers have been killed in the last 24 hours in Jammu and Kashmir -- Major Ketan Sharma, Rifleman Anil Kumar Jaswal, Havildar Amarjeet Kumar and Naik Ajit Kumar -- Congress's chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said. In all, 10 soldiers were killed over the last week, he added.
"I salute their sacrifice for the motherland," Surjewala said in a tweet in Hindi. Two soldiers were killed and several injured in a terror attack on an Army vehicle in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama, he said. "This is completely a big intelligence failure of the government," the Congress leader said in another tweet. He pointed out that five jawans were killed in an attack on CRPF personnel in Anantnag last week, and asked whether any lesson was learnt. Seven civilians were seriously injured in a terror attack on a police station in Pulwama, Surjewala said. "We have full faith in the valour of our security forces. Today itself they have killed two terrorists," he added.
