PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on killing of four Army personnel in Doda encounter

Hours after the killing of four soldiers, including an Army officer, was reported from the encounter site in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday said that “no one is being held “accountable,” adding that by now the heads should have rolled. “There is no accountability. By now, the heads should have rolled. The DGP should have been sacked. Almost 50 soldiers have lost their lives in the last 32 months. No one is being held accountable,” the PDP chief said, addressing a press conference in Srinagar. She further said that the current DGP is busy fixing things politically. An Army captain and three soldiers were among five security personnel dead in an encounter with terrorists in Doda on Monday evening. The attack came days after five Army personnel died when terrorists ambushed an Army convoy in Kathua district.

“What has happened in Doda is highly condemnable. We lost our brave soldiers and officers in this attack… There is no accountability. The incumbent DGP is more busy fixing things politically. He is more into how to crush the PDP and how to harass the people,” she said.

Mufti’s statement came after the DGP claimed that the leaders of mainstream parties in Jammu and Kashmir were cultivating leaders of terror networks for political gains. The DGP also said Pakistan had infiltrated all important aspects of civil society in Jammu and Kashmir.
