Jammu, March 4:

Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has declined to meet two  BJP ministers  Choudhary Lal Singh and  Chander Prakash Ganga  on the issue of Kathua rape and murder case.

The two ministers , according to sources, have been conveyed that the Chief Minister has “no time” o meet them if they want to ask for CBI inquiry into the  alleged rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl Asifa in Hiranagar village of Kathua district in January .

She is deeply annoyed with them for having sided with the agitators who were raising questions about the credibility of investigations of the State police. She felt it was a direct attack on  her as the state police functions under her for she is the Home Minister as well.

Ysterday, she had made two of her PDP  colleagues and ministers  Altaf Bukhari and Naeem Akhtar to  ive party’s mind to the BJP ministers, ruling out CBI inquiry into the Kathua rape and murder case. Both Altaf and Naeem castigated the  BJP ministers, of course, without naming them , for politicizing and communalizing the rape and murder of a young girl.

The  BJP ministers who had promised CBI inquiry into the case on  Thursday were not available for their comments.
