On Thursday, Jammu and Kashmir Congress president Tariq Hameed Qarra launched a critical offensive against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, criticizing his silence on the developments in Iran. During an interactive party session, Qarra claimed 2026 could be a pivotal year for the BJP government under Modi's leadership.

Qarra expressed his disappointment with the Prime Minister for not commenting on the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, suggesting Modi's lack of stance on international issues is isolating him politically. The Congress leader linked Modi's leadership challenges to historical lessons, indicating parallels with pre-Independence era initiatives.

Further, Qarra highlighted a recent trade agreement, warning of its negative impact on local agricultural sectors. He stated the deal compromises national interest over business protection, particularly referencing Adani Group, and announced district-wide protests on March 9 to raise awareness and counter these policies.
