new Delhi. The Congress party has attacked the Modi government at the Center for suspending the ‘air courier service’ of soldiers for movement in the Kashmir Valley, accusing them of duping the youth in the name of nationalism. Congress’s chief spokesperson and in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala on Friday accused the Center of saying that the Modi government, which shed tears of false nationalism by demanding votes of youth in the name of the martyrs of Pulwama, used ‘air courier service’ of soldiers for movement in the valley. ‘ Then suspended.
He said that the security of our soldiers has been put in jeopardy by suspending the air courier service from April 1 for the soldiers visiting the Kashmir Valley on a daily basis due to lack of permission from the Defense and Home Ministries. It is unfortunate that the Modi government is sitting on its hands.
He said that in view of the security of the soldiers, we demand that the government should apologize to the country for risking the lives of military and paramilitary forces by immediately restoring the service of air traffic.
Recalling the Pulwama incident, he said that 44 CRPF jawans were martyred in the Pulwama terror attack on February 14, 2019, due to the closure of this courier service earlier. This attack was possible because the CRPF personnel were going to duty through buses from this very sensitive area, even then the Modi government did not provide air facility to take them to the duty point.
He claimed that after the attack in Pulwama, after the demand of Congress and other opposition parties and condemned to this effect, the Modi government had restored the ‘air courier service’ to the jawans in a hurry, which will now end again from April 1, 2022. has been done.
He said that the suspension of service means that the jawans posted in Jammu and Kashmir will now have to move by rail or road. This negligence is when the government is well aware that the area of about three hundred kilometers in Jammu and Kashmir is at risk. There is always the possibility of IEDs, hand grenades, drones and suicide attacks in such areas. With the closure of air travel of paramilitary forces, now the same type of convoys can be started again, which can be easily targeted by terrorists. This will also increase the cost as a large number of road opening parties will have to be organized in view of the security of the soldiers.
He said that if our soldiers protect the country, then it is also the duty of the government to provide them with necessary basic facilities. But the Modi government seems to be failing here as well.
He demanded the immediate restoration of air courier service for military and paramilitary forces from the government.
