BJP president Nitin Gadkari today attacked the Centre over its "failure" to protect the interest of Hindus in Pakistan, and announced to form a five-member committee to raise it at international forums. Gadkari met the migrants here at a camp on Jhanwar road, and spent about half-an-hour with them.

The BJP leader also announced an ex-gratia financial aid of Rs 5 lakh to them. He assured them of making a five-member team including two MPs, "which will study the nitty-gritty of the issue, so that it could be taken up on the international forums and organisations."
