J&K terror attack 'intelligence failure', Article 370 move has not ended violence: Sena (UBT)

MUMBAI: (Apr 24) The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Thursday claimed the deadly attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam was the result of an "intelligence failure" and maintained issues facing the Union Territory are not going to get resolved by threatening Pakistan.

In a sharply worded editorial in its mouthpiece 'Saamana', the Uddhav Thackeray-led party rued that nullification of Article 370, which provided special status to the erstwhile state, has not ended violence in the Kashmir Valley, where Hindus are still being "targeted".

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) celebrated a "political festival" after the contentious provision of the Constitution was revoked in 2019, but left Hindus in the lurch, alleged the opposition outfit, attacking its former ally.
