Led by BJP State General Secretary & Former Mayor Kavinder Gupta, 200 to 250 BJP activists held an anti-Pak protest demonstration in the city against ceasefire violations and firing and shelling on the border.
They also allegedly burnt the flag of Pakistan amid anti-Pak slogans.
Eight people have been killed and 94 others injured in shelling and firing by Pakistan in civilian areas along the LoC and International Border in the Jammu region since October 1.
He said that during the last few days, Pakistan has targeted Arnia, R S Pura, Suchetgarh, Akhnoor, Pargwal, Hiranagar, Samba and other areas and have caused deaths and injuries to dozens of people besides damage to houses etc.
Gupta said that the BJP stands with the people in this hour of grief and sorrow and appreciates the strong retaliation by the Indian security personnel.
Gupta appealed the opposition parties to support NDA in its action against Pakistan instead of politicising it.
Another BJP leader Jandial said that while the Union government is doing its best to mitigate the problems of the border people besides giving a befitting reply to Pakistan, some leaders are playing politics and making attempts to tarnish the image of Modi by making irresponsible statements.
