"Budgam firing incident most unfortunate. Def Min should expedite inquiry and act against d guilty. Victims' families shud get compensation (sic)," Madhav said in a tweet.
A couple of hours later, he retweeted a post by one of his followers on Twitter, which said, "Sir, it's an unfortunate incident... They (army men) fired when the car didn't stop when asked to. Could've been a threat!".
Madhav, who is now a BJP general secretary, replied to him saying, "Yes. Army's is a tight rope walk. That is why they are specially trained to ensure minimum mishaps".
Defence Minister Arun Jaitley has termed the incident highly regrettable while the Home Ministry has sought a report from the state government in the matter.
