Kishtwar clashes: VHP extends bandh call, demands Governor rule
Jammu, Aug 13: Demanding Governor rule in Jammu and Kashmir, the state unit of Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Monday extended bandh call for another 24 hours from today.
"We
have
decided
to
extend
the
bandh
call
for
another
24
hours
and
appeal
all
business
community
and
transporters
to
support
the
bandh
call,"
VHP
General
Secretary
Dr
Sham
Gupta
told
reporters
here
yesterday
night.
He asked for Governor's rule in the state, as judicial inquiry, announced by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to inquire into the clashes in Kishtwar district, which left three persons dead and many others injured, is not sufficient.
The VHP leader demanded that an independent fact finding committee should be constituted, to access the property losses of the minorities during the recent clashes, as VHP has already asked for compensation to be given to those affected.
Gupta asked to register FIR's against the miscreants involved in the recent attacks on minorities in Kishtwar. Centre should first impose Governor rule in the state and then start judicial inquiry against Kitchloo, Gupta said.
