NEW DELHI, Jun 11 (KNO) : Less than a week after Home Minister Rajnath Singh, in a landmark move, said cases against minors for 'stone pelting' in Jammu and Kashmir have been withdrawn, a parliamentarian of his own party said "stone pelters should be shot dead."
"I read about the withdrawal of cases against stone-pelters but I think those pelting stones should be shot dead," BJP Rajya Sabha member DP Vats, told news agencies. Vats' remark goes against the centre's major outreach efforts in Jammu and Kashmir, in the backdrop of the truce move, when the home minister announced unilateral ceasefire during the holy month of Ramadan.
