Extend security to more party leaders, demands J&K BJP
The Hindu
It says in the past two years, 23 party leaders or workers were targetted by militants and killed
There is a growing demand from the Bharatiya Janata Party in Kashmir to extend security to more leaders and workers as a spree of attacks on the party leaders left five dead in the past three months. “In the past two years, 23 BJP leaders or workers were targetted by the militants and killed. We lost nine BJP leaders only in Kulgam district. It is high time police provided security and ensured workers’ safety. I appeal to the Director General of Police to provide both security and accommodations to our workers,” said Altaf Thakur, BJP spokesperson in Jammu and Kashmir. The fresh demand comes just a day after a BJP leader, Javeed Ahmad Dar, who is a constituency in-charge, was killed in his house in Kulgam. Earlier, a grenade attack on a BJP leader’s house in Rajouri and indiscriminate firing inside the residence of BJP leader in Anantnag left three dead this month.More Related News
