| Peace march ahead of rally | | | The BJP will stage a peace march in Jammu tomorrow, a day ahead of its plans to hoist the national flag at Srinagar''s Lal Chowk on the Republic Day, the party''s youth wing leader Poonam Mahajan announced today.
"We have been declared out of bounds from the Parade Ground at Jammu. We are organising a peace march outside the ground tomorrow," the BJYM vice president, also the daughter of late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, told PTI over phone from Jammu.
"We cannot stay in hotels. We are staying at houses (of well-wishers)," Poonam said. "I came to Jammu by flight," she said, adding, she would have been detained had she used road or rail route.
She claimed that the government in Jammu and Kashmir was afraid of "nationalists hoisting the tricolour" at Lal Chowk on January 26.
The Omar Abdullah government is afraid of us. The rally we were scheduled to hold has been cancelled, she added.
"Hoisting the tricolour is a matter of pride for any Indian. Anyone opposing this is anti-national," she said.
Over 1,000 workers from Maharashtra, including BJYM state president Sambhaji Patil Nilangekar, have arrived in Jammu, Poonam said. |
