Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) today questioned the BJP-PDP government's decision to compensate the family of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in connection with the killing of his brother in an "encounter" with the Army.

"we question the BJP-PDP government's decision to compensate the family of Burhan Wani in connection with the killing of his brother in an Army action," Chief Spokesperson JKPCC Ravinder Sharma told reporters here today.

JKPCC criticised the BJP for its "dual face over such issues."

Sharma said the BJP stands exposed for its "rhetoric, which proved hallow now for the sake of power."
 

"It is unfortunate that those who advocated tough posture against terrorism are now speechless in the government," he added.
