In yet another controversial statement, and one which misrepresents facts on the ground, senior Congress leader and party vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s close aide Digvijaya Singh accused the Indian Army of killing civilians in Kashmir and compared the professional armed forces of the country with Pakistan-sponsored terror outfits active in the Valley.
"The civilians are being killed from both sides in Kashmir Valley. From one end, the militants are killing them and on the other, they are becoming the target of the security forces," Singh said.
Furthering his political agenda, Singh said that the Peoples Democratic Party-Bharatiya Janata Party coalition government in Jammu and Kashmir has brought a sense of distrust in the local population. He also said that the situation in Kashmir was better when the Congess was in power at the Centre.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
