Rape and murder of girl in temple is a small issue: New J&K Deputy CM

Srinagar, Apr 30: Within an hour of taking oath as the new Deputy Chief Minister of in Mehbooba Mufti coalition government of Jammu and Kashmir, Kavinder Gupta debuted with a shocker on the rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl at a temple in Kathua earlier this year.

"It’s a small issue... We have to think this should never happen again and the child gets justice. There are many challenges like this facing the government. We should not give Rasana so much bhaav (importance)," Mr Gupta told reporters.

The comment was received with shock and disbelief after a revamp that was linked widely to the outrage over the BJP's former ministers participating in a rally in support of the men arrested for kidnapping, drugging, gang-raping and murdering the child in a temple in Kathua's Rasana village.

All eight accused are pro-BJP while the little girl belonged to a Muslim nomadic tribe.

Questions were also raised over the inclusion in the cabinet of Rajiv Jasrotia, the BJP legislator from Kathua, who had participated in the Hindu Ekta Manch Rally in support of the rapist-killers.

Let this fellow think  for a while what could have been his approach when his daughter is put in Asifa's place. It gives suspicion that Mr. Gupta has some "Gupta" link with accused?. Why these fellows are devoid of humanity at least??......

If this is minor, then what is a major incident? Just because the girl is a Muslim the incident become a small issue for you?
