Kathua killings: Culprits will not be spared, vows LoP Sharma

Kathua, Mar 09: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) General Secretary and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Jammu & Kashmir, Sunil Sharma on Sunday met the families of Darshan Singh, Yogesh Singh and Varun Singh, of the Malhar area of Bhilwara tehsil, Kathua district, who were found dead on Saturday. The three individuals had gone missing on Thursday evening while travelling to a wedding in Lohai Malhar.
Sharma spoke to a large number of people at Bhilwara. He expressed deep condolences to the bereaved families and assured them that the BJP, both at the national and local levels, stands firmly with them in this moment of sorrow and grief. He vowed to take up the matter at the highest levels to ensure justice for the victims and their families.
The BJP leader raised serious concerns about the circumstances surrounding the deaths, doubting the possibility of a deeper conspiracy aimed at destabilising the region, by making attempts to revive militancy in Bhilwara, Bani, Basohli, Doda, and Kishtwar areas. He stressed the need for a comprehensive and transparent investigation into the incident and assured that the culprits will not be spared.
“This is not an isolated incident; there is a pattern emerging that cannot be ignored. There have been continuous efforts by anti-national elements to revive terrorism in these areas,” Sharma said.
The LoP urged the administration and security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation and expose the real culprits behind these mysterious deaths. “No stone must be left unturned in bringing the perpetrators to justice. The government and the security forces are capable to defeating the designs of anti-India dispensations sitting across the borders. The BJP will not tolerate any attempt to disrupt peace and stability in the Jammu region,” he added.
Sharma also urged the Lieutenant Governor and security agencies to enhance surveillance and security measures in these sensitive areas. “The people of Bhilwara, Basohli, and adjoining regions have bravely stood against terrorism in the past,” he said.
The BJP leader reaffirmed that the party remains committed to upholding peace, security and the rights of the people of Jammu & Kashmir. He called upon security agencies to intensify efforts to curb any nefarious designs aimed at reviving terrorism in the region.
