Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 29 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed 1,145 terror incidents in 3 years between 2018 and 2021 -- during the tenure of the NDA government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the Congress party in Kerala.

"J&K under BJP saw an alarming number of terror incidents. Any claim otherwise is not just propaganda, but a plain lie. BJP's capture of mainstream media and social media commentators cannot hide the truth," the Congress said in their social media platform 'X'.

Earlier, the Congress in Kerala courted controversy after former Pakistan Minister Fawad Hussain shared a post of theirs on his 'X' account about the Pahalgam terror attack.

Soon after the Pahalgam attack, the Congress posted a message on 'X', saying that "Pahalgam is nearly 200km from the Line of Control. It is not a border village so that someone could sneak in and go back. How did four terrorists carrying big guns come 200 km inside, shoot nearly 50 people and go back unscathed?"

"If terrorists can walk in and shoot and go back without the risk of being captured or killed, how safe are our cities?," it said.

The former Pakistan minister shared this message for highlighting the security lapses on the part of the Indian government.

However, the BJP in Kerala has not responded to the Congress' criticism of the Prime Minister and the Union government on the Pahalgam terror attack. Meanwhile, the silence of the Kerala BJP's social media on the issue was also widely questioned by several right-wing activists and public commentators.
