NPP blames BJP-PDP Govt. for anti-national activities in J-K

National Panthers Party (NPP) chief Bheem Singh on Sunday held the BJP-PDP government responsible for anti-national activities in Jammu and Kashmir.

Blaming the ruling BJP-PDP government for anti-national activities in Jammu and Kashmir, National Panthers Party (NPP) chief Bheem Singh on Sunday said that the pro-Pakistan slogans raised at the 'Big Kashmir Marathon' was only to embarrass the country in front of the world.

"The ruling BJP-PDP government is responsible for all the anti-national activities in Jammu and Kashmir. I want to ask who organised this marathon. This was a publicity stunt by the government," Singh told ANI here.

"No Muslim organisation has ever organized such a marathon. This marathon was organised only to embarrass India and gain international publicity," he added while commenting on today's incident at Hazratbal where a clash broke out between the police and protestors after pro-Pakistan slogans were raised near the venue of the 'Big Kashmir Marathon'.

The 21-kilometre marathon was to begin from Naseem Bagh at Kashmir University and go along the Dal Lake.

However, the youth raised slogans in favour of freedom and pelted rocks on the forces guarding the venue in the varsity.

The police and paramilitary forces later baton charged the protesting youth.
