The Tribune had on Tuesday carried the photograph of Aman Singh, whose group was involved in the killing over alleged sacrilege, meeting BJP leader and Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar.

Till two days ago, BJP leaders, including state president Ashwani Sharma, SC morcha chief Raj Kumar Atwal and others, had been issuing statements on the issue, taking on the Opposition and even farmer union leaders.

In a statement, Sharma had directly put the onus on the Samyukt Kisan Morcha andhad even questioned the silence of state government.

However, the BJP leaders have now gone silent. There was also no word on party’s official Facebook page. Sharma and state general secretary Subhash Sharma could not be contacted. — TNS
