Kathua Rape “Minor Incident”, Says New J&K Deputy Chief Minister
New Delhi : Within hours of a cabinet shuffle in Jammu and Kashmir, new Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta debuted with a shocker on the Kathua eight-year-old’s rape and murder.
"Rasana is a chhoti si baat (minor)… We have to think this should never happen again and the child gets justice. There are many challenges like this facing the government. We should not give Rasana so much bhaav (importance)," Mr Gupta said.
His comments raised questions particularly as the rejig was blamed on the massive criticism of previous ministers for their perceived support to the men who have been arrested for kidnapping, drugging, gang-raping and murdering the child, who belonged to a Muslim nomadic tribe.
