Missing youths: BJP seeks NIA probe

August 21, 2016 12:00 am | Updated September 20, 2016 04:01 pm IST - Thiruvananthapuram:

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday sought a probe by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) into the case related to the 21 “missing” youths from Kerala who are suspected to have joined the terror outfit Islamic State.

The government should respond in favour of an NIA probe in the case as the IS has become a national security threat, BJP secretary Shrikant Sharma said at a media workshop for BJP workers. “We have to save youths as they are the future of the country,” he said.
