JAMMU: Senior BJP leader and Member of Parliament, Er. Gulam Ali Khatana, has ridiculed former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for politically assassinating the character of DGP J&K. Challenging the former CM, Khatana said, “If you have any issues with the DGP, come with facts. Making such statements is inappropriate, especially when our soldiers are losing their lives fighting terrorism.”

Khatana ridiculed Mufti’s claims of a lack of accountability in the police force, stating, “Mufti’s assertion that ‘there is no accountability’ and that ‘the DGP should have been sacked’ is entirely baseless. On the contrary, DGP Swain has proven to be an exceptionally competent officer who has revolutionized the police department and its operations.”

The BJP leader didn’t hold back in his counter-attack, asserting, “Mehbooba’s statement is a political character assassination of an upright and honest officer like R.R. Swain.” Elaborating on Swain’s tenure, Khatana pointed to numerous accomplishments in combating terrorism and crime.

“Under his leadership, the Jammu and Kashmir Police have dismantled major terrorist networks and made significant progress in tackling narco-terrorism, organized crime, drugs mafia, and corruption. Swain’s proactive strategies have substantially strengthened regional security,” he stated.
