JKPYC holds anti-govt rally, says border residents being made sitting ducks

Hundreds of activists of Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Youth Congress (JKPYC) today took out a massive rally here accusing the Centre of making border residents "sitting ducks" in Pakistan firing.

Led by JKPYC President Pranav Shagotra, the activists took to streets and held massive demonstrations against BJP led NDA regime for what they said was "betraying" border inhabitants.

Shouting slogans against Central government and BJP, they alleged border inhabitants were being made sitting ducks for petty politics.

Youth Congress activists disrupted vehicular movement at Tawi bridge for some time as mark of protest against "inhuman" approach of Union Government towards border dwellers.

"BJP and its government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made the border residents sitting ducks for target practice for Pakistan in its shelling and firing this year", Shagotra told reporters here.

He said over 40 people have been killed and over 130 people injured in largest number of the ceasefire violations this year.

Killing of civilians on borders, be it International Border (IB) or Line of Control (LOC), has become a routine affair, "but those at the helm of the affairs are doing dirty politics on human lives", he said
He said during the last four years killings on the borders have increased manifold,
