The protesters alleged that the BJP government is using police to suppress them. They said the bulldozer policy should be halted without any delay.
The People’s Democratic Party on Tuesday staged a massive protest march in Srinagar against what is being called the ‘bulldozer policy’ initiated by LG administration.
The protesters including PDP leaders and activists marched from the PDP office near Municipal Park towards traffic headquarters and raised slogans against BJP and LG administration.
They were carrying placards in their hands with slogans like ‘Kashmir for Kashmiris’, ‘Stop ruling Jammu and Kashmir like a colony’, ‘Landless, jobless, homeless,’ ‘Stop bulldozing our homes.’
While talking to reporters, one of the PDP leaders, Mohit Bhan said that the BJP government has been dispossessing the people of Jammu and Kashmir from their land and homes. He said demolition exercise was being carried out through the arbitrary use of bulldozers to invent homelessness in Jammu and Kashmir.
He said while in New Delhi colonies under illegal occupation are being regularized, in Jammu and Kashmir, the land from natives is being snatched.
The protesters alleged that the BJP government is using police to suppress them. They said the bulldozer policy should be halted without any delay.
The protesters amid sloganeering said that the honor and dignity of the people of Kashmir are being trampled and disturbance is created to add woes to the hardships of people.
One of the protesters said that for BJP, J&K does not mean much but has been often used to further their alleged agenda of communal hatred.
“People are being humiliated. They have no say and no access to power corridors. Law is not being followed. Stick approach is pursued to crush common people,” said the protesters.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Police have arrested 8 persons including an Apni Party leader for allegedly resorting to stone pelting that took place during an ‘encroachment’ drive at the Malik Market area of Jammu on Saturday.
Police said that after the stone-pelting, CCTV footage was checked, and ‘culprits’ were identified. Police added that a District Development Council member from Doda and Apni Party leader Mehraj Malik among eight people have so far been arrested.
“They have been arrested under relevant sections of the law,” police said.
Notably, some people resorted to minor stone-pelting amid protest during an anti-encroachment drive at Malik Market in Jammu in presence of civil and police administration.
