Flagging the recent attack on former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge claimed that there has been a serious deterioration of law and order in Jammu and Kashmir since the Union Home Ministry assumed control of security after the revocation of Statehood.
The incident showed that the “people of Kashmir are not safe,” he said in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday (March 12, 2026), suggesting that there was a larger conspiracy to target senior leaders.
The Leader of the House and Union Minister J.P. Nadda promised a comprehensive probe into the “murderous attack”, but also accused the Opposition of politicising the incident.
