Expressing anguish over the incident of otherwise a clash between the two communities five days back at Rajouri which is observing bandh, a large number of BJP and BJYM activists protested against the DC and SP Rajouri, by burning effigy of the Rajouri administration in Kachi Chawni Chowk today. The protest was led by District Jammu West President Subash Jandial, alongwith several other leaders and activists.Addressing the protestors gathered over there Subash Jandial informed that the state administration is hell bent upon repeating Kishtwar like situation in otherwise peaceful areas of Jammu where the people belonging to both the communities have been living together maintaining communal harmony. By initiating action against the minority community in the state, particularly the Rajouri administration is engaged in flaring up a minor incident of clash among the teenagers into communal clash.
Jandial authenticated his view by narrating how the entire incident took place when some miscreants with intention to kill boys from minority community chased then about 200 meters long lane and beaten up the boys who only in turn attempted to defend themselves but the police instead of taking lenient view issued warrants against seven boys under section-307. It is clear that the Rajouri administration frustrated after Kishtwar happening has taken one sided action by ignoring those who chased the boys with intention to beat them. He further added that the Rajouri administration is not ready to listen to the Hindu leaders but only are extra cautious to defend the boys who were actually responsible for the ruckus.
The BJP leaders were agitated also on the issue that even after five days of the incident the government has not taken any action against the culprits but are framing false charges against the innocent youth against whom the warrants are issued and they warned the authorities to control the situation to bring peace otherwise the BJP will take course of action at wider scale.The prominent protestors were Sat Sharma (C.A), Munish Sharma, Chander Mohan Gupta, Rajinder Sharma, Ravinder Raina, N.D.
