New Delhi/Nov, 13: BJP’s All India General Secretary in charge Jammu and Kashmir Ram Madhav on Tuesday said militants are responsible for the killing of a senior party leader and his brother in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district and they would be neutralised soon.
BJP state secretary Anil Parihar and his brother Ajeet Parihar were shot dead on November 1 by gunmen in a dark, narrow lane leading to their house. The brothers were fired upon from close range.
“Right now, our main challenge is to track down the militants(behind the killings) and neutralise them. That will be done very soon,” Madhav told reporters in Kishtwar, 230 kilometres from here.
“That (neutralising militants) is the important thing here. Of course, we will not allow these kinds of activities to create instability and violence in Kishtwar or Doda, the peaceful areas of Jammu region. That is our priority and we are focusing on that,” he added.
Madhav, accompanied by Union ministers J P Nadda and Jitendra Singh and state BJP president Ravinder Raina, visited Kishtwar to pay homage to Parihar and his brother.
