Kathua rape and murder case: As CM tried my best to ensure justice was done, says Mehbooba
Srinagar: PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti has said that as Chief Minister she tried her best to ensure that justice was done in the brutal rape and murder of the minor Kathua girl.
A year has passed since the eight year old Muslim minor nomad girl was brutally gang raped and murdered.
In series of tweet Mehbooba said that ‘even a crime like rape was communalized and passions were stoked to justify it.’
Today marks a year since the horrific rape & murder of an eight year old girl in Kathua. Sadly , instead of condemning such a gruesome incident, BJP lawmakers staged protests in favour of the rapists. Even a crime like rape was communalised & passions were stoked to justify it.

As a CM I tried my best to ensure justice was done. Can only hope that the accused are punished severely so that no other girl has to endure such pain and trauma.
