"If they (Centre) do not go for the probe, we should invite an international committee to investigate who is responsible for such attacks," NC chief said.

"It is very unfortunate that the G20 meeting can be held in Ladakh and Kashmir but not in Jammu. Is Jammu not important? It is sad that not a single BJP leader, even those who chanted 'Jammu, Jammu, Jammu and Dogra, Dogra, Dogra' raised the issue."
