Modi s policies created space for Kashmir terrorists: Rahul

New Delhi July 12 (IANS) Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi s "policies created the space for terrorists" in the Kashmir Valley and called it a strategic blow for India.

"Modi s policies have created the space for terrorists in Kashmir. Grave strategic blow for India " Gandhi said on Twitter.

He also said that the short-term political gain for Modi from the alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party in Jammu and Kashmir had cost India dear.

"Short-term political gain for Modi from PDP alliance has cost India massively. Modi s personal gain equals India s strategic loss plus sacrifice of innocent Indian blood."

Gandhi s latest salvo against the Prime Minister came two days after seven pilgrims were killed when militants opened fire at a bus carrying Amarnath Yatra pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir s Anantnag district.
