Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP DP Vats said that instead of cases being withdrawn against stone-pelters in Jammu and Kashmir region, they should be shot dead. “I read about the withdrawal of cases against stone-pelters but I think those pelting stones should be shot dead,” said Vats. The BJP MP reacted on Union Home Affairs Minister Rajnath Singh said that cases against first-time stone-pelters were withdrawn as “children make mistakes” and their future shouldn’t be put at risk.
