Srinagar: Jammu Kashmir Chief Minister Mehooba Mufti Saturday commended the people of Jammu for supporting the eight-year-old girl who was raped inside a temple in Kathua.
Mehbooba wrote on twitter: “I commend the manner in which the people of Jammu dismissed communal forces & were unwavering in their support for a little girl. It has strengthened my belief that Jammu serves as a model of inclusiveness & together the people of J&K inspire secular unity & righteousness.
The rape and murder of eight-year-old Bakerwal girl has created a humongous controversy in the state. So far, two of rightwing BJP ministers, who addressed the pro-rapist rally in Kathua, have tendered their resignation and eight people involved in the heinous crime have been arrested by the Crime Branch of Jammu Kashmir Police.
