‘Scared to visit J&K’: UPA minister’s remark draws jibes from BJP | India News – Times of India


NEW DELHI: Senior BJP leaders have accused a veteran Congress functionary Sushil Kumar Shinde‘s comment that he was trembling with fear during his visit Lal Chowk in Srinagar as Home Minister under UPA-2.
Union minister Piyush Goyal and former I&B minister Anurag Thakur had termed Shinde’s remark at the launch of his memoirs on Monday as symbolic of the fear and uncertainty in J&K under the Congress regime, highlighting the turnaround after Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed power in 2014.
“During Congress rule, even the Home Minister was afraid to go to Kashmir,” Goyal wrote on X. “But now, under PM Modi’s leadership, the security is so tight that even Opposition leaders play with snow in Kashmir without any fear,” he added, referring to Congress’s Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi throwing snowballs at each other.
Thakur was equally scathing: “Shinde Saheb’s confession is an admission of the reign of terror that jihadists had unleashed in J&K. Look at the contrast after PM Modi formed the government in Delhi. You can visit the same Lal Chowk without any fear,” Thakur added.
