Ex-IB Chief appointment proves Modi’s failure on Kashmir: Kharge

Kalaburgi, Oct 24 : Congress leader in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge today said the appointment of former Intelligence Bureau Chief Dineshwar Sharma as the interlocutor for peace talks in Jammu and Kashmir proved that the Modi government had failed in handling the situation in the trouble torn state.
Expressing anguish over Mr Sharma’s appointment, he told newsmen here that it showed the union government’s inability to handle the situation even though its government are at the Centre and in J and K.
Mr Kharge also expressed doubt over success of the new initiative to bring back the peace in the valley and called it as a failure of government’s ‘muscular approach’.
The Union government had finally admitted its “blunder”, he added.
