The National Conference (NC) on Saturday organised a protest march in Srinagar against attacks on Kashmiris, including students, in different parts of the country, after 44 CRPF personnel dead on February 14 at Awantipora on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway.
Led by several former minister and legislators, including Ali Mohammad Sagar, the NC members assembled at party headquarters at Zero-Bridge this morning.
Raising slogans against the Modi government for ‘failing’ to protect Kashmiris, the NC leaders and workers started their march towards civil lines. However, large number of security forces and state police personnel swung into action and stopped them near Radio Kashmir, Srinagar crossing.
Demanding protection for Kashmiris, including students, who are staying in different parts of the country besides in winter capital, Jammu, the NC demanded action against those responsible for attacks on Kashmiris.
They criticised the BJP and Congress leaders for their silence over attacks on Kashmiris.
The processionists later dispersed peacefully. (UNI)
