The Peoples Democratic Party staged a demonstration here on Monday demanding withdrawal of an FIR against some party leaders, including former MLC Firdous Tak, last week.
Tak and some other party leaders were booked for allegedly instigating people after they held a protest near a mosque in Kishtwar district last Friday against the reported plans of the Jammu and Kashmir administration to strengthen the village defence committees (VDCs).
"We gathered here to protest the registration of the FIR against party leaders in Kishtwar," PDP youth leader Parvez Waffa, who was leading the protest, told reporters. "Our party is against arming of civilians, especially belonging to a particular community and subscribing to a particular ideology."
