BJP general secretary Ram Madhav arrived in Srinagar on Friday on a two-day visit to Jammu & Kashmir.
Mr. Madhav arrived in the morning and enquired about party leader Dr. Anwar Khan, who was attacked by militants on the outskirts of Srinagar near Khanmoh on Thursday. Mr. Khan escaped unhurt, but his guard was injured in the attack.
Mr. Madhav is scheduled to meet BJP legislators and senior regional leaders in Jammu on Saturday.
There has been friction between the coalition partners, the BJP and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), over the issue of rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua, with BJP leaders supporting a CBI inquiry into the case and the PDP pushing for a probe by the Crime Branch.
Besides, the issue of stay of Rohingya migrants in Jammu has the two parties pulling in different directions. “A team of State BJP leaders went to Delhi two days ago and apprised the party headquarters about the political dynamics in J&K. Mr. Madhav has come to get the party leaders’ feedback,” said a BJP leader on the condition of anonymity.
