Talking to media-persons here today, Pahalwan said that BJP was respondible for prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that after being appointed as Congress observer for Jammu-Poonch Lok Sabha segment, he has been visiting different areas of this constituency and reviewing and piling up public opinion regarding the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
