Carrying tricolour in their hands, the prominent political leaders including ex-MP Sheikh Abdul Rehman, Congress’ Raman Bhalla NC’s Ratan Lal Gupta, Abdul Gani Malik, Sheikh Bashir, Shiv Sena’s Manish Sawhney, CPI(M)’s Comrade Muzzaffar, DYC’ Sukhdev Singh, IDP’s Narinder Khajuria, Akali Dal(A)’s Narinder Singh Khalsa and other leaders claimed that BJP’s “double -engine government” has failed to protect the minorities in Jammu and Kashmir.
The speakers also expressed solidarity with the family members of the civilians killed in Dangri and demanded that the perpetrators be taken to task as soon as possible.
