JAMMU, Apr 30 (KNO) : Asking Mehbooba Mufti to clear her stand on how Rajiv Jasrotia was inducted in her cabinet, AIP Supremo and MLA Langate Er. Rasheed has said that his induction has exposed the collation government’s claims of taking a moral ground over Kathua rape and murder case.
In a statement issued today, Er. Rasheed said “If Lal Singh and Chandra Prakash were sacked from the cabinet for their participation in the rally of Hindu Ekta Manch favoring culprits involved in Asifa’s rape and murder, the role of MLA Kathua Rajiv Jasrotia was even more worst. The fact of the matter is that, it were, MLA Kathua Rajiv Jasrotia and MLA Samba Kuldeep Raj who were instrumental in getting Lal Singh and Chandra Prakash to the Ekta Manch rally. BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav seemed rightly to have said that Cabinet reshuffle had nothing to do with Kathua Incident.
It is evident that even sacking of two ministers had nothing to do with Kathua case but BJP was in search of appropriate timing and excuse to sack them for the reason that party had some internal organizational issues”. He added that those PDP leaders including Chief Minister who were taking credit for sacking the two ministers supporting Ekta Manch rally, stand exposed and their helplessness is evident. Er. Rasheed further asked Mehbooba Mufti to clear her stand over the issue or she must restrain from lying and misleading people.
He added that by inducting the main supporter and organizer of Hindu Ekta Manch in the cabinet, BJP has not only encouraged those supporting killers of Asifa but has in a way reaffirmed the communal and fringe elements their full support and Mehbooba Mufti seems to have made yet again a shameless surrender. He also said that shameless words of Kavinder Gupta immediately after taking oath by downplaying Kathua rape and murder incident have shaken everybody.
He said, “Kavinder Gupta’s claim that Kathua incident is a small incident deserves condemnation and proves that appeasing pro-Hindu Ekta Manch forces was the only purpose of today’s cabinet reshuffle. It is obvious now that induction of Rajiv Jasrotia into Cabinet and Kavinder Gupta’s insulting words have exposed both BJP and PDP.”
