PM should take steps to restore peace in Kashmir: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi, June 2 Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday slammed the government for making Kashmiri Pandits a “ladder to power” and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should take urgent steps to restore peace in the Valley.
“Bank managers, teachers and many innocent people are getting killed everyday, Kashmiri Pandits are fleeing. Those who have to protect them, are busy in promoting film. BJP has only made Kashmir its ladder of power,” Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet.
“Take immediate steps to restore peace in Kashmir, Prime Minister,” he said.
A bank manager from Rajasthan was shot dead in a yet another targeted attack in broad daylight in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday morning, triggering widespread condemnation.
The attack took place two days after a 36-year-old teacher from Samba, Rajni Bala, was killed in the same district.
The spree of targeted killing has sparked fresh fears among Kashmiri Pandit employees, recruited under the Prime Minister’s special rehabilitation package, and Hindu employees from Jammu and other states posted in the Kashmir Valley.
