Srinagar, Apr 13: Alleging that the first ‘pro-rapist’ rally in Asifa’s case was carried out by two of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti’s ministers, who continue to serve in the state Cabinet, National Conference (NC) working president Omar Abdullah on Friday asked what action will be taken against them.
Mr Abdullah was reacting to Ms Mehbooba’s assertion that the state government will bring a new law that will make death penalty mandatory for those who rape minors, so that little Ashifa’s case becomes the last.
“Mehbooba ji before you try to convince us that you would be able to safeguard future Asifas, what action will you take against your Ministers, who supported Asifa’s murderers?” Mr Abdullah, who is the former chief minister of the state, tweeted.
“Dear PDP, the first “pro-rapist” rally was taken out by two of Mehbooba Mufti’s ministers & they continue to serve at the pleasure of the Chief Minister in her cabinet,” he tweeted.
“When asked why the pro-rapist BJP ministers continue to serve in @MehboobaMufti’s cabinet the PDP spokesperson said, “that’s a question for PM Modi”. Oh the helplessness of our powerless Chief Minister!” he added.
Mr Abdullah also lashed out at BJP Cabinet minister Lal Singh for his comment, "so what if this girl has died, many girls die every day' remains unnoticed by the high command.
“So what if the person, who said this remains a minister in @MehboobaMufti’s government, compromises are made for power every day,” he added.
Meanwhile, lashing out at people, including BJP Ministers, seeking the Asifa rape and murder case to be transferred from Crime Branch of state police to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Mr Abdullah said J&K police is fine for them so long as the personnel are falling to militants bullets and getting injured in stone pelting but when it comes to investigating a wicked rape/murder suddenly they can’t be trusted.
Mr Abdullah was reacting to a tweet which read, “The BJP Jammu spokesperson tells me they have no faith in J and K police crime branch investigation in Kathua rape; but isn't the BJP in power in J and K and doesn't police report to state govt or is there one govt in Srinagar, and another in Jammu? #JusticeforAsifa.” 
A group of lawyers even tried to prevent CBI from producing the challan in the court on Monday. However, later with the help of police the challan was filed in the court.
Seven persons were arrested by the CBI in the rape and murder case. A number of BJP leaders and Kathua Bar Association demanded that the case should be handed over to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Two ministers of the BJP also joined the protest against the arrest of accused, evoking massive condemnation from various organisations. UNI
