Kulgam Attack Prompts Calls for Probe, Dialogue, and Security Scrutiny
Following a terror attack in Kulgam, several political figures have voiced concerns and made demands. Mirwaiz Umar Farooq expressed concern over unrest across the Line of Control, particularly in Rawalakot, and called for dialogue and inclusive engagement. Farooq Abdullah questioned the timing of the Kulgam attack in relation to discussions about Jammu and Kashmir statehood. Mehbooba Mufti described the attack as a security lapse and requested a probe, a sentiment echoed by the Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister who also questioned the Centre's security narrative. The Congress party condemned the attack.
