Kulgam attack blamed on Modi regime

Following the killing of laborers in India — Kulgam district, India — Jammu and Kashmir, former chief minister Farooq Abdullah blamed the Narendra Modi regime for ongoing terrorism and security failures in the region. He rejected attempts to link the incident to Pakistan, questioning the government's claims of normalcy. Abdullah and the India — Jammu & Kashmir National Conference accused Indian intelligence agencies of engineering staged dramas to obstruct the restoration of statehood. Mirwaiz Umar Farooq of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference called for dialogue, and the India — Indian National Congress rejected the BJP's narrative of a foreign hand. Political experts suggested the attack was a fabricated security drama to divert attention from domestic crises.
