In the meantime, the Samaj President said that the hunger strike continued on the 35th day today. Addressing a large gathering, Bhat said that some vested interests are hell bent to sabotage the strike and called for focusing the attention on the just demand of release of benefits to the bifurcated families.

In the meanwhile, Ajay Bharti President Displaced Hindu Youth Forum has disowned the statement attributed to him in the report that the decision of calling off the strike has come following his persuasion and maintained that his Forum fully supports the cause of the KP youth who are on strike. He said there seems to be a conspiracy behind the move by some interests. |
