Cornering PM Modi, Owaisi said, "The area of ​​Doda is very far from the LoC. It is a very serious matter that terrorists are attacking so far from the LoC, in which four soldiers of our army, including a captain and a major, are killed. This incident also describes the failure of the Narendra Modi government.''
