Lawyers hold protest demonstration
Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Feb 13: J&K High Court Bar Association Jammu today held a protest demonstration in the District Court Complex against the elements who by raising anti-national slogans in GGM Science College made an unsuccessful attempt to vitiate the otherwise peaceful atmosphere in Jammu.
Addressing the agitating lawyers, Senior Advocate B S Slathia urged the Governor that the anti-national elements/forces should be dealt with iron hands and brought to book at the earliest. “Nefarious designs of the anti-nationals should be fought tooth and nail and nobody should be allowed to vitiate the otherwise peaceful atmosphere of Jammu in order to ensure maintenance of communal harmony and brotherhood”, he added.
The agitating lawyers urged the administration that the sleeping cells which are actively supporting these anti-national forces/elements in Jammu should be identified and weeded out from Jammu in order to ensure that no such incident happens in future.
They urged the Governor to accelerate the pace of the anti encroachment drive and the encroachers should not be allowed to escape from the clutches of law under the veil or camouflage of any religion, caste or creed. “The encroachers are the violators in eyes of law and law should take its own course to book and punish them and the encroached land should immediately be restored from their possession”, Slathia said.
“In case of any delay in action against the anti-national elements J&K High Court Bar Association Jammu shall not act as a mute spectator and shall be left with no option but to launch a mass agitation to weed out such elements from Jammu”, Slathia added.
