Terrorist caught in Jammu was BJP’s IT cell chief
A wanted Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist captured in Jammu and Kashmir yesterday was an active member of BJP. He was also the party's Minority Morcha social media in-charge in Jammu. Talib Hussain Shah and his accomplice were captured by the villagers in Jammu's Reasi area yesterday morning. Two AK rifles, several grenades and other arms and ammunition was recovered from their possession. They were eventually handed over to the police. The BJP blamed the system of online membership that is allowing people to join the party without any background check. "A new issue has come up with this arrest," said party spokesman RS Pathania. "I'd say this is a new model -- entering the BJP, gaining access, doing recce... there was even a plot to kill the top leadership which was busted by the police," he said. "Across the border, there are those who want to spread terror. Now anyone can become a member of the BJP online. I'd say this is a drawback since there is no system to check the criminal record or antecedents of the people who are taking membership online," he added.
