"Security In Kashmir Better Than In Bengal": Manoj Sinha vs Trinamool
NDTV
Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress hit out at the Lieutenant Governor for comparing the security of Bengal with that of Kashmir.
Jammu and Kashmir has better security than Bengal, the Lieutenant Governor of the Union Territory, Manoj Sinha, said, drawing a sharp reaction from the ruling Trinamool Congress in the state.
His comments come a day after four soldiers were killed in action and three were injured in a gunfight with terrorists in the Poonch district. The encounter began after terrorists fired at two army vehicles passing through Dera Ki Gali in Rajouri's Poonch region yesterday afternoon.
Calling the attack an "unfortunate incident", Mr Sinha said: "Our neighbour does carry out such ill-intentioned acts. Terrorism is taking its last few breaths there and we are working on a well-planned strategy to finish terrorism and its ecosystem. I am hoping you will see it its results soon."
