How did the situation in Kashmir come to this? Asks Yechury

July 10, 2017 23:17

After the terror attack on Amarnath Yatra pilgrims, Communist Party of India-Marxist general secretary Sitaram Yechury attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party for 'deteriorating' situation in Kashmir.

"The situation in Kashmir has deteriorated under the BJP govt's watch. Their mishandling of the situation is a matter of grave concern," Yechury tweeted.

Reminding the NDA government of the last such attack on pilgrims, he said, "Last killing of pilgrims in terror attack was in 2000, under BJP-led NDA. Now, again in 2017. How did the situation in Kashmir come to this?"

"We demand accountability from the BJP govt which has mishandled the state, and has now led to the loss of innocent lives in Kashmir," he said in another tweet.
