Why militants targeting only BJP workers, asks party MP

 

BJP’s Lok Sabha member from Jammu, Jugal Kishore Sharma said that all political parties participated in recently held District Development Councils (DDCs) elections but terrorists only targeting BJP leaders which is a clear indication of nefarious designs.  He said that it was all due to the growing acceptance of BJP in Kashmir Valley that terrorists got frustrated.

 

“We will not succumb before terrorists”, he asserted, adding, “by killing a Kashmiri Pandits terrorists want to sabotage any process of their return to their native places in Valley”.
