Cong., NC leaders raise 'anti-India' slogans in Anantnag

The National Conference (NC) and Congress members were seen raising 'Indian democracy murdabaad' slogan in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district on Tuesday.

The leaders of the prime Opposition parties in J-K could be heard shouting these slogans over the deferment of Anantnag by-polls to May 25.

In wake of the prevailing tension in the Kashmir Valley and the very poor poll percentage in Srinagar by-polls held on April 9, the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Monday deferred the Anantnag by-polls till May 25.

A school designated as polling station for Anantnag by-polls was set on fire in the Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir. A Panchayat Ghar was also set ablaze in Pulwama district.

 

A Government Middle school, in Shopian's Padarpora was set ablaze by unidentified people and on Sunday, the Government High School in Pulwama was razed to the ground in a similar manner.
