Kapil Sibal slams Mohan Bhagwat, says Centre failed to secure J&K

Slamming Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal on October 17 asked the Sarsanghchalak what development Jammu and Kashmir witnessed while adding that the Centre has failed to secure the union territory.

Speaking to ANI, Sibal said, “Bhagwat ji says there is huge development in Jammu and Kashmir. We want to see what is that development. And, what there is on the ground. Union Home Minister had promised that after Article 370 was abrogated, there would be Assembly elections. The fact is he has not honoured that commitment as he knows nothing is normal in Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.

The Congress leader alleged that the Centre has failed to secure Jammu and Kashmir.

“Prime Minister should remember what he said both in 2014 and 2019. He had said 'just think of those jawans who lost their lives...think of their mothers'. I want the prime minister to reflect on that. While it is easy to criticise it is difficult to accept the reality that you have failed to secure the state of Jammu and Kashmir,” Sibal said.
