| JKNPP sponsored bandh evokes little response in Jammu | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Oct 8: Barring Udhampur district, bandh call given by Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) to protest Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's remarks over accession of the state with the Union of India in the State Legislative Assembly evoked little response in other parts of the region including Jammu city.
Shops and business establishments remained closed in Udhampur and Ramnagar towns of Udhampur district and traffic was very less on the roads in support of the bandh call given by JKNPP, which boycotted the Assembly session in Srinagar. The students took to streets and forced the schools to close in Udhampur town in support of the call.
In Samba district, shops and business establishments were also closed at a few places. "We condemn the anti-national, anti-India and communally provocative statement of Omar Abdullah in Legislative Assembly," JKNPP State President, Balwant Singh Mankotia said, adding by speaking in this manner he had violated the oath of office as the Chief Minister.
Omar should be dismissed as Chief Minister as he had triggered the fire of separatism soon after taking over as the Chief Minister, Mr. Singh said.
However, rest of Jammu region, particularly Jammu city, bandh evoked little response.
"There was no untoward incident reported from any where in Jammu region in wake of the bandh call," police Control Room officials said. Effigies of the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah were burnt by the students in Jammu.
