    Kishtwar MLA Sunil Sharma was elevated to the cabinet and Doda MLA Shakti Parihar took oath as a minister of state on Monday. In March 2016, the two were photographed with BJP leader Hari Krishan – wanted for the murder of a Muslim man during communal violence on Eid in 2013 and declared an absconder by a court of law. The photograph was taken at a meeting at the residence of Union minister of state and Udhampur MP Jitendra Singh.
    The same report also said Krishan had campaigned for both Sharma and Singh. It further pointed out that in May 2015, Sharma was seen watching a cricket match in Kishtwar town with Roshan Lal, who is accused of burning a Muslim man alive. Lal reportedly left the venue before the police arrived.
