The members of the team included Jugal Kishore Sharma, State president, Dr Nirmal Singh ex president, Ashok Khajuria MLA, Ashok Ji Koul, party general secretary organization, Dr Jitendra Singh chief spokesperson of the State and Shamsher Singh Manhas ex president.
Dr Jitendra Singh before leaving for Goa said that the State leaders will discuss the surrender issue with the Central leaders and if possible we will seek directions of the Central leadership on the issue also.
The influx of hundreds of surrendered militants from illegal Nepal route has been a cause of concern for the BJP and other nationalist forces in the State, said Dr Jitendra Singh while questioning the influx of surrendered militants via Nepal route.
Expressing apprehensions he said that any initiative by the Government on the rehabilitation of the surrendered militants should not be done in the haste because it may send a wrong signal that there is a premium on militancy and Government is giving priority to rehabilitation of ex-militants to seven lakh unemployed educated youth of the State who have not indulged in militancy.
He said the question unanswered by the Government is if it also includes the Nepal route among the approved routes of entry of militants in the State as among the four approved routes wherefrom not even a single militant has entered India while all came via illegal Nepal route.
