4 BSF JAWANS KILLED IN PAK BORDER FIRING
Four Border Security Force (BSF) personnel including an officer were killed and three others wounded in Pakistani firing and mortar shelling along the IB in Samba district on Wednesday.
With these killings, the BSF has lost as many as 11 of its men in cross-border firing in J&K, so far, this year. This is the highest number of casualties the paramilitary force has suffered along the IB in a year in the last five years.
New Delhi, June 13: The Congress on Wednesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the death of four BSF personnel in cross-border firing by Pakistan and labelled it “weak and cowardly” for failing to protect the country’s borders in the last four years.
Congress leader Pramod Tiwari also accused the Prime Minister of insulting the martyrdom of the four BSF personnel by releasing his “fitness video” on the day of the incident. “Four of our jawans died today and we salute their supreme sacrifice. But I hold the weak policy of the Modi government responsible for this. I fail to understand why Prime Minister Narendra Modi has turned weak before Pakistan?”
“Modi is a master in making statements but does nothing in action. Prior to 2014, they used to talk of taking 10 heads for one and of their 56-inch chest, but in the last four years the Modi government has turned weak and cowardly in protecting the country's borders,” Tiwari told reporters at the AICC headquarters.
Congress communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala added that the death of four BSF jawans was a result of the “failed Pak policy” of Modi government.
“Crossing all limits of cowardice, Pakistan indulged in cross-border firing in the middle of night in which four of our jawans were killed and three others injured. But our country's leadership is adopting an uncertain Pak policy. Till when will this continue?” Surjewala said on Twitter.
