Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh on Friday said contrary to the Centre’s claim, terrorism cases are on the rise in Jammu and Kashmir, while referring to the Thursday attack on an Army vehicle that led to the death of five soldiers.

Talking to reporters, Singh said the Centre had claimed that scrapping Article 370 in J&K in 2019 and demonetisation (2016) will help in fighting terrorism in the erstwhile state, but figures of Defence and Home Ministries suggest terror-related incidents have actually gone up since.
