Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In this, he has demanded a rehabilitation package for the people affected by Pakistani shelling, including Poonch.
He has written in this letter, "I recently visited Poonch, where 14 people, including four children, died tragically and dozens of people were injured in Pakistani shelling."
"This sudden and indiscriminate attack has caused massive destruction in common areas. Hundreds of houses, shops, schools and religious places have been badly destroyed. Many victims said that their years of hard work came to nought in one stroke."
Rahul said, "The people of Poonch and other border areas have been living in peace and brotherhood for decades. Today when they are going through this deep crisis, it is our duty to understand their pain and provide all possible assistance to rebuild their lives."
The Congress leader said, "I urge the Government of India to come up with a solid and generous relief and rehabilitation package for Poonch and all other areas affected by Pakistani shelling."
