New Delhi, Apr 15 (IBNS): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday accepted the resignation of its two cabinet ministers- Lal Singh and CP Ganga- who took part in a rally supporting those accused of raping and killing a young girl in Kathua.

The resignations of  Forest Minister Lal Singh and Industries Minister CP Ganga were earlier handed over to Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti.

She has reportedly accepted their resignations.

Earlier, BJP General Secretary Ram Madhav, who was here to attend the party’s legislature meeting, said that resignation letters are now being forwarded to Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti.
