Shiv Sena (Bal Thackeray) Punjab today said its activists will leave for Jammu and Kashmir on July 15 to interact with Amarnath yatris there in order to get first hand information on their problems.
After a meeting at Hanumangarhi temple here today, the outfit said its 'Jatha' will leave from Pathankot.
Presided jointly by state vice president Inderjit Karwal and General Secretary Gurdip Saini, the meeting asked BJP to withdraw its support to the Mehbooba Mufti government in J&K.
Karwal said Sena's state president Yog Raj Sharma will lead the 'Jatha'.
He alleged "Pakistan-sponsored terrorists" disrupt Amarnath Yatra every year.
"Under the pretext of the death of a terrorist (Hizbul commander Burhan Wani), they have once again disrupted it this year and Sena won't take it lying down," he said.
