NEW DELHI: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today slammed the Jammu and Kashmir Government for not allowing senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley to go to violence-hit Kishtwar district.
“Landed in Hyderabad. Heard that Arun Jaitley & other Opposition leaders are not allowed to go to Kishtwar. This is undemocratic,” Mr Modi said on Twitter.
“Stopping Opposition leaders in this manner shows that the Government does not want the truth about the Kishtwar violence to come out,” Mr Modi said.
Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mr Jaitley, who had planned to lead a party team to visit Kishtwar to take a stock of the situation there, was not allowed to proceed to Kishtwar after he landed at Jammu airport this morning.
Two people died in the communal riots that broke out in Kishtwar on August 9.
