JKNPP lashes out at BJP over Kathua rape-and-murder case

The Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) today accused the BJP of adopting double standard on the Kathua rape-and-murder case, and said the party was making "contradictory and incongruous" statements to weaken people's movement for a fair probe into the case.

The JKNPP reiterated its demand for a CBI investigation into the incident and said many skeletons would tumble out of the cupboard once the probe was transferred to the central agency.

A group of JKNPP activists led by its chairman Harsh Dev Singh staged a demonstration at Gandhi Nagar here and set ablaze an effigy of BJP, asking the saffron party to shun its hypocrisy and double standards.
