We have failed her as humans: V K Singh on Kathua girl's rape-murder

New Delhi, Apr 12 (PTI): Union minister V K Singh today said "we as humans" had failed the eight-year-old girl from a minority nomadic community who was gang-raped and killed in Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district but she would not be denied justice.

The child from the nomadic Bakerwal Muslim community had disappeared from near her home in the forests next to Rasana village in Kathua on January 10. A week later, her body was found in the same area.

Expressing distress over the tragedy, perhaps the first reaction from a BJP minister, he said we have failed her as humans.

"But she will not be denied justice," the minister of state in the External Affairs Ministry added in his tweet.

A Special Investigation Team formed to probe the incident has arrested eight people, including two Special Police Officers (SPOs) and a head constable, who was charged with destruction of evidence.

A charge sheet filed by the Jammu and Kashmir Police said abduction, rape and killing of the girl was part of a carefully planned strategy to remove the minority community from the area.

The rape has polarised the state with the local bar association calling for a bandh against what it termed the "targeting of minority Dogras", while the Valley saw protests demanding justice for the deceased.

    This is one of the sensible comment from retd. army Gen. V K Singh after his 'Pestitude' a choice of weapon for every journalist used by BJP's social media.
    Rampant abuse of political power to influence and subvert legal process, and shield is the chief characteristic of the BJP which politically exploited Nirbhaya Rape Case is now outrightly brazening it out on the rape Cases in Kathua (J&K) and Unnao (UP).
    The religion and caste of the rape victim, threatening her family, even killing her father is the new Modus Operandi of the Vigilante Groups mushrooming under the patronage of the BJP.
    Why BJP Governments in J&K shy of ordering a CBI enquiry and arresting those who are accused. Why are they trying to divert attention from complete diversionary tactics?
    BJP government slogan of ‘BetiBachao’ saying it has now become ‘Beti Ke Pita Ko Bhi Marwao’ !

    ‘Bahut Hua Naari Par Vaar..’ is now a Cruel Joke on the Women of India’

    ‘Justice for Women in BJP ruled states has become a mirage because BJP’s ecosystem is influencing the legal process by building a False Narrative

    It is squarely replicating the ‘Naliya Rape Model’ where BJP leaders drugged, raped and blackmailed the victim in a sex racket in Kutch, Gujarat, Surjewala alleged.

    This is second such incident in Kashmir were right-wing Hindu Ekta Manch, along with the ruling BJP's state secretary, recently carried out a protest march in Jammu Kathua district to demand the release of a SPO accused of raping and murdering an eight-year old nomad girl.
    BJP Leader in Front, Hindu Ekta Manch Waves Tricolour in Support of Rape Accused in Jammu.
    In a video clip of the rally, protestors can be seen carrying the tricolour and chanting anti-government slogans while marching in support of the accused Deepak Khajuria.

    Where are all those 'Moral Police', 'Anti-Romeo's', Anti Love Jihadist', 'Durga Vahini and BJP Mahila Morcha are missing now?
    Why no fasting to death for justice of 'beti' of Bharat mata?
    Jai Hind

    Sure you have failed as humans. I wonder why V.K Singh did not react when Mohammed Aklakh was killed by a frenzied mob , which was instigated by the mob visiting the temple. Imagine how trumatized the Brave Officer from the Air Force must have been , when his father was killed by the hindu Fanatics. All the soldiers from the Air Force , were startled & anguished & disgusted by this unruly behaviour. We Indians are becoming a laughing stock in front of the whole world. People are seeing B.J.P for what it really is . People will give a fitting reply to B.J.P in the run for elections .

    Why is issuing a statement in this regard? Is our Home Minister sleeping? This has brought to fore the crooked strategy of BJP once again. When something happens, everyone in the union ministry speaks except the minister concerned.

    You are right. Defence minister was talking about PNB scam. This is BJP and party with a difference. These scoundrels should never come to power again.
