Over 300 activists of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha set on fire the effigy of UPA government and a Pakistan flag.
Meanwhile, BJP activists held similar protests at Poonch and Rajouri.
Strict action should be taken against Pakistan as it has repeatedly indulged in such activities, BJYM state chief Ravinder Raina said.
