LIVE: J-K home minister resigns over Kishtwar violence

August 12, 2013 13:46

Earlier, Arun Jaitley said that Kishtwar has always remained calm and there has rarely been riots between the two communities. So, why did violence break out out on Id, just a few days after the five Indian soldiers were killed in the LoC by Pakistani troops.

"Government functionaries remained mute targets when the violence broke out. This is not a localised law and order situation, but affects national interest. Anti-national elements should not take advantage of the situation," said Jaitley.

And yes, Omar Abdullah has accepted Sajjad Kichloo's resignation as state home minister.
