Srinagar, Nov 10: Sikh community today launched agitation and staged a sit-in protest here against State Government over non-fulfillment of their demands including extension of minority status to Sikhs.
Scores of members of Sikh community assembled at the banks of river Jhelum near Zero Bridge and raised slogans against alleged indifference of politicians at helm in the State. Holding placards, the protesters said that the State government has forgotten them and was in no mood to fulfill the genuine demands of the Sikh community in the State.
While speaking on the occasion, the APSCC Chairman Jagmohan Singh Raina said that despite giving an ultimatum of 20 days the State Government did not move an inch towards the fulfillment of their demands.
Raina said that PDP in its election manifesto had written that minority status would be given to the Sikhs of Jammu and Kashmir. He said that PDP-BJP Government in the State is more than eight months old and still there is no progress with respect to fulfillment of demands of Sikhs in the State.
