He asked the Government to immediately hand over the case to the CBI for fair and transparent enquiry to bring justice.
He said “J&K being a sensitive State and in order to keep the social fabric intact we need to remain vigilant and the politicians of the State should behave more responsibly as any wrong statement can create chaos,. We should desist from making Rassana of J&K like Kerana of UP’’, he added.
