"The abrupt rise in terrorist attacks in the state is the result of inconsistent defence policy of BJP-led NDA government at the Centre," newly-appointed Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Ghulam Ahmed Mir told reporters here.
"The present government, in spite of making tall claims, has failed to deter terrorist attacks from across the border. The present establishment must adopt a constructive, coherent and consistent policy for dealing with Pakistan," Mir said.
Mir, who was accompanied by several other Congress leaders, enquired about the health of personnel's injured in the attack.
He urged the doctors to extend best medical care to the injured police personnel and prayed for their early recovery.
"We strongly condemn the terrorist attack on police station Raj Bagh, Kathua, today morning which resulted into loss of precious lives and injuries to...People," he told reporters outside the hospital.
