Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Monday expressed concern over the attack on civilians in Jammu and Kashmir and said that the situation there is "worrisome".
"Situation in Jammu and Kashmir is worrisome. Bihari migrants, Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs are being targeted," he said.
Raut also demanded a statement from the Defence Minister (Rajnath Singh) and the Home Minister (Amit Shah) of the country.
"When it's about Pakistan, you talk of surgical strikes. Then, it should be then done for China too. Defence Minister or Home Minister needs to tell the nation what the situation is in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh," the Sena leader added.
Raut, while slamming the Centre said, "The removal of Article 370 did not improve the situation in Kashmir, terrorism has increased."
"Government is playing a role according to political convenience. The people of Kashmir are dying. The government should play a concrete role in Kashmir," he further added.
