Rajasthan Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas said: It’s not a BJP vs Cong thing. Rajasthan govt is with the families of martyrs. BJP is politicising the issue, they might have received orders from the top brass, as reported by ANI.(Image: ANI )

Commenting on the matter, Congress leader and MLA Sachin Pilot said, We must listen to what the widows of Martyrs have to say and look into their demands if it's possible to accept them or not. The way police treated them can’t be accepted. The probe must be conducted and action must be taken, as reported by ANI. (Image: PTI)

State Sainik Welfare Advisory Committee president Manvendra Singh Jasol said, If they (widows) want a job for their brother-in-law, the solution lies with the Home Ministry. If they give preference to their child, then they will come of age soon and they should not hurry, reported ANI. (Image: ANI )
