Jammu, September 18

After the Uri terror attack, the voices within the Army and the Ministry of Defence, who want accountability to be fixed for the security lapses, have gained strength. The Army and intelligence agencies reportedly had concrete inputs of a possible fidayeen attack in the state. A fidayeen attack in Poonch a few days ago confirmed the validity of these inputs. Despite this, fidayeens succeeded in carrying out their nefarious designs. “This is not going to be put under the carpet and hushed up like previous attacks where accountability was not fixed. Time has come to make people accountable, due to whose negligence soldiers lost their lives,” said a source in the Ministry of Defence. — TNS
