2 Ministers Who Supported Men Accused In Kathua Rape Case, Resign
Two BJP ministers who defended the men arrested for raping and murdering the eight-year-old girl in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua have resigned from their posts today.
The move came after Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti put her foot down, telling the BJP leadership that their continuation in the government had become untenable.
Industries Minister Chandra Prakash Ganga and Forest Minister Lal Singh had addressed a rally in support of the accused by a group called the Hindu Ekta Manch in March.
The group had also taken out a rally with the national flag, trying to communalise the gang-rape.
