Shifting of AIIMS to Kashmir
8/4/2015 12:22:57 AM
Early Times Report JAMMU, Aug 3: The AIIMS Coordination Committee (ACC) agitation has now become a people's movement. Today on the fourth day of the bandh, many in the government believed that the bandh will lose its appeal and it may start petering away. BJP ministers Chaudhary Lal Singh, Sukhnandan Chsudhary and Bali Bhagat were among the foremost in the present BJP-PDP government to nourish such hopes. That they were mere hopes and the people's support to the AIIMS movement is only growing with each passing day was glaringly manifest to them when they were plainly told by the shopkeepers whom they tried to persuade to open their shops.
