New Delhi, July 19: Questioning approach on government’s handling of Jammu and Kashmir, the Congress on Wednesday demanded that it take the Nation into confidence in steps being taken to bring normalcy in the state.
Ghulam Nabi Azad and P Chidambaram, said in a statement that casualties had been reported from the state everyday since July 10 rejecting Government’s claim.
“The Congress repudiates the Government’s claim and calls upon the Government to take the nation into confidence and disclose what it is doing to bring about normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir,” the two leaders said in the joint statement.
“Yet the Government claims that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has improved. Such a claim defies belief and common sense. The statement made by the Government yesterday is wrong, misleading and clearly at variance with the situation on the ground,” Azad and Chidambaram said.
