The sources said the Jammu leaders were also asked to approach the Home Minster to see how the Kathua case can be transferred to the CBI as people are way of the investigations being carried out by the Crime Branch. "The BJP leaders were also asked to see how to approach the case and file a petition for the same, and take up the issue with the Chief Minister too," sources added. "There was also a suggestion that top government functionaries including the top politicians should visit the area and meet the aggrieved families," said the sources.

If it gains traction than opposition can corner us and we can't afford such a situation," sources said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
