“To safeguard the interest of Jammu, I will not hesitate to fight the government or meet the prime minister personally and reiterate the demand for a CBI probe into the Kathua rape-and-murder case which is the demand of lakhs of people,” Ganga told reporters in Jammu on Saturday evening. Earlier in the day, Singh also sought a CBI probe and said “what is wrong with it. We felt it better (to submit our resignations) to save the image of the party from getting tarnished and to save the image of the prime minister. We were not under any pressure.”He said it was the party high command which sent them to Kathua to control the situation. However, he said, since there was a public demand for a CBI probe, “I said we will put forth the demand before the chief minister.”
