Jammu
October 24, 2020

Dozens of Shiv Sena Dogra Front activists on Saturday (October 24) staged a protest here against PDP President Mehbooba Mufti for her remarks that she would only hold the tricolour when the flag of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir is restored. On the other hand, the Jammu and Kashmir BJP demanded the arrest of the PDP chief for her 'seditious' remarks.

Led by SSDF's president Ashok Gupta, the protesters holding tri colour in their hands assembled at Rani Park and raised slogans against the former Chief minister besides setting ablaze her pictures.

"We will not tolerate anti-national remarks of Kashmiri leaders like Mehbooba and Abdullah (National Conference President Farooq Abdullah). Prime Minister Narendra Modi should open the borders and send them to Pakistan and China as they have no place in India," Gupta told reporters.

The BJP said 'no power on earth' can either hoist the state flag again or restore Article 370 of the Constitution, which granted a special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.
