The Shiv Sena also said that the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits is still incomplete.
“Despite 11 months of formation of the elected Government, four Rajya Sabha seats from J&K are lying vacant,” he continued adding: “At the same time, by-elections are not being announced on Assembly seats of Budgam and Nagrota.”
Meenakshi Chhibber, president Shiv Sena women wing and Raj Singh, president Kamghar were also present on the occasion.
