Jammu, April 16

 

Chief Minister  Mehbooba Mufti on Monday forwarded the resignation of two BJP ministers Lal Singh and Chander Prakash Ganga to  Governor N N Vohra  for acceptance.

The Governor , who is busy with President Ram Kovind’s visit on Wednesday ,  is likely to accept the resignations  by this  evening.

The two ministers who had addressed the agitators  in Kathua  district  on   March 1  and promised that they would take up the matter with  Chief Minister for handing over the case to CB, were  sacked by their own party   high command for the “ indiscretion.” , despite the fact that they were sent to  Kathua to “ defuse” the explosive situation .

The agitators  were demanding CBI inquiry  for they alleged that the  state police and  crime branch were “ terrorizing”  Hindus and falsely implicating at the behest  of the communal forces  in the Kashmir-centric government.

It was wrongly reported yesterday that Chief Minister had sent the ministers’ resignation to the Governor.
