VIJAYPUR, May 10: Up in arms against the new recruitment policy of the PDP-BJP coalition Government and shifting of proposed AIIMS from Jammu to Kashmir, Congress activists held a strong protest demonstration, here today.
The protest demonstration was organized under the leadership of senior Congress leader Arun Sharma, who strongly criticized the State Government for its alleged anti-youth, anti-people and anti-Jammu policies.
