The demand was made by BJP J&K UT president Ravinder Raina at a press conference here, today after party came under severe criticism by Congress, PDP and other parties questioning its militant connections.
Talib Hussain, a LeT terrorist and his accomplice, Faizal Ahmed Dar used to visit the BJP office pretending to be a journalist. They would attend press conferences as reporters inside BJP offices and even at political rallies, said Ravinder Raina.
Former Dy. CM, Kavinder Gupta and BJP secretary Arvind Gupta also .
“Talib’s phone has shown photos and videos, which are disturbing. It seems that Talib was doing racee at BJP J&K office and even sent them to people across LoC to LeT. Security agencies are investigating the whole thing and can soon reveal some big links” said Raina.
“Talib Hussain used to visit BJP office in the garb of journalist and used to cover party’s press conferences, political rallies and other programmes,” Raina said and added that their mobiles contained significantly harmful material in form of photos and videos.
Stating that top J&K BJP leaders and office-bearers were on Talib Hussain’s hit-list, Raina has sought a probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in this matter.
“Talib Hussain did recee of my office. He sent videos of my office to his Pakistani handlers. He used to meet BJP leaders by posing as a journalist. We demand a NIA probe,” he said.
He said that he has himself received threat calls and letters many times earlier by terrorists from across the borders.
Raina said, “Posing as media personnel, Talib Hussain used to have access to every programme and send the details to his Pakistani counterparts. He also clicked photos with the political leadership pretending to be from the media fraternity”.
Raina said, “This confirms the modified game plan of terrorists. Understanding the gravity of the matter, the party appeals to the LG. Manoj Sinha to ask for a NIA probe into the matter to find out such more black sheep and their links. This is necessary to fail the nefarious designs of these terror organizations.”
