Phagwara, April 28: Shiv Sena activists allegedly burnt a Pakistani flag on National Highway 1 on Friday to protest terror attacks on security forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
Led by Sena’s state vice-president Inderjit Karwal, protesters began a march from Hanumangarhi temple and came to NH 1, converging at the sugar mill crossing. Sporting Sena’s flags, they allegedly raised slogans against Pakistan and also targeted the Centre and the Jammu and Kashmir government, officials said.
They also burnt an effigy of the BJP-led NDA government at sugar mill crossing. Protesters alleged that Pakistan’s ISI was “sponsoring terror attacks” on security forces in Jammu and Kashmir while the Union government was “soft-pedalling” to save the state government in which the BJP was a coalition partner.
“Our army and paramilitary jawans are being targeted by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists in order to destabilise India and create fear psychosis. But the Modi government is doing little to control the situation,” Karwal alleged.
