BJP spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi on Friday conducted a press conference where she hit out at the Opposition for 'communalising' the Kathua rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl. Lekhi also said that two MLAs who supported the Kathua accused at rallies in Jammu and Kashmir had been 'misled'. While speaking of the Unnao incident, Lekhi said that the incident took place last year, but when the victim approached the court, she did not take Kuldeep Singh Sengar, the accused BJP MLA’s name before the magistrate. She said: “You see their plan, first shout 'minority minority', then 'Dalit Dalit', and now 'women women' and then try to somehow fix blame of state issues on the centre. This situation is such today that one after another incident of murder, rape and violence is taking place in various parts of the country.
