BJP demands NIA probe into arrested LeT militant’s links
“Talib (Shah) used to visit BJP office in the garb of journalist and used to cover party's press conferences, political rallies and other programmes,” J&K BJP president Ravinder Raina said.

The BJP on Tuesday demanded NIA probe into the arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba militant Talib Shah’s “terror links’’ and also issued show cause notice to its J&K Minority Morcha president Sheikh Bashir, asking him to reply within 48 hours about appointment of Shah as incharge of its IT and Social Media Cell for Jammu province.
“He (Bashir) doesn’t have the authority to make any appointment,’’ said J&K BJP president Ravinder Raina, who returned here after attending the party’s national executive meeting in Hyderabad. “Every appointment in the party is made by the president.”
Accompanied by former Deputy Chief Minister Kavinder Gupta and party secretary Arvind Gupta at party headquarters here, Raina said, “Talib’s phone has shown photos and videos, which are disturbing.” It seems he recced the J&K BJP headquarters and sent its videos and photographs to LeT handlers across Line of Control, he said, adding that the “security agencies are investigating the whole thing and can soon reveal some big links”.
