New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday slammed the government over the killing of a Hindu woman teacher in Kulgam, saying Kashmiri Pandits are protesting but the BJP is busy celebrating eight years of the Modi government.
His remarks come a day after school teacher Rajni Bala was gunned down near her school in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam by terrorists.
Security personnel and civilians are dying in Kashmir and this is the truth and it is not a film, he said.
“In Kashmir, 15 security personnel have been martyred and 18 civilians have been killed in the last five months. Yesterday too a teacher was murdered,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.
“Kashmiri Pandits are sitting on a dharna for the last 18 days but the BJP is busy celebrating eight years. Prime Minister ji, this is not a film but it is the truth of Kashmir today,” Gandhi also said.
The killing of Rajni Bala (36), who belonged to Jammu’s Samba district but was posted at a government school in Gopalpora, Kulgam, is the second killing of a non-Muslim government employee in May and the seventh targeted killing in Kashmir this month.
Police officials said Bala was injured in the attack and taken to a nearby district hospital where she was declared dead.
The woman’s killing evoked widespread condemnation in the Valley.
