Ill intents of BJP MLA on Kathua minor rap case

The remark of BJP MLA from Chenani Dina Nath Baghat over the Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta’s remark on the Kathua girl’s rape and murder case shows his ill intents . As the BJP MLA said “I want to ask a question to Deputy CM. Is Rassana a small case where a 8-year-old girl was brutally raped and murdered? I think wrong people have been arrested while the main culprits are still at large, or someone wants to protect the real culprits in the rape case” no one from the PDP dared to seek clarifications from the BJP over the highly condemnable remark of the BJP MLA . By all standards of political understandabilities the remark of the Deputy Chief Minister in which he said “ Kathua minor rape case is a minor incident” is as challengeable for the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti as is the remark of BJP’s Chenani MLA in which he has sought clarification from the Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta over Crime Branch investigation of the Kathua rape and murder case. Before saying “wrong people have been arrested and the real culprits are still at large” the BJP MLA Dina Nath Bhagat should have taken the trouble to look at the clinching evidence provided by Delhi Forensic Laboratory in its medical examination report which confirms the involvement of the accused arrested and charge sheeted by the Crime Branch of Jammu & Kashmir police. The BJP MLAs charge that Chowdhry Lal Singh and Chander Prakash Ganga have been made sacrificial lambs has almost drawn a flak as the induction of Rajiv Jasrotia despite his questionable participation in the Hindu Ekta Manch rally leaves no scope for linking the resignation of Lal Singh and Chander Prakash Ganga with their participation in the controversial Hindu Ekta Manch rally. Instead of seeking CBI probe into the rape and murder of Kathua minor girl the BJP’s Chenani MLA Dina Nath Baghat should hang his head in shame over the CBI’s reputation in handling 2006 infamous sex scandal and 2010 murder mystery of two Shopian Women.

Both the BJP MLA Dina Nath Baghat and Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder instead of questioning the Crime Branch Investigation should ponder over the reputation of CBI in conducting the investigations of the case the previous regimes of Jammu & Kashmir handed over to it and better for them to wait for the outcome of the trial of the accused now monitored by the Supreme Court of the country.

None else than the Prime Minister and President of the country have condemned the brutal rape and murder of Kathua minor girl and international condemnation of this heinous crime has brought shame to the country to extent that both the central and the state government had to push through an ordinance to allow courts to punish people raping children upto 12 years of age. Both the BJP MLA Dina Nath Baghat and Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder instead of questioning the Crime Branch Investigation should ponder over the reputation of CBI in conducting the investigations of the case the previous regimes of Jammu & Kashmir handed over to it and better for them to wait for the outcome of the trial of the accused now monitored by the Supreme Court of the country.
