BJP threatens to hold state-wide agitation over Rajouri issue

Jammu and Kashmir unit of BJP today threatened to hold a state-wide agitation on Monday if the administration failed to take action against miscreants who had allegedly disrupted Ramleela preparations in Rajouri.
"If the administration fails to take appropriate action, the party will be forced to resort to more aggressive and state-wide agitation from Monday after the culmination of Dusshera festival," BJP state president, Jugal Kishore Sharma, told reporters here.
The party blamed the administration for the stalemate in resolving the issue resulting from disruption of Ram Leela by encroachment at the venue by certain mischievous elements from majority community, Sharma said.

Giving details of party's 'Rajouri Chalo' protest yesterday, Sharma said several senior leaders of the party were detained and prevented from proceeding to meet their party workers in Rajouri.
He said MLAs were not allowed to meet the people, which is "violation of their democratic rights".
Sharma warned that if the issue is not resolved soon, BJP will hold consultations with like-minded social groups and organisations to launch an agitation against the Omar Abdullah government.
