BJP to launch ‘jail bharo andolan’ from June 17: Jugal

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 13: Under party’s  countrywide “jail bharo andolan”, party activists will protest and court arrests from  June 17 this month in different districts of the State. This was announced by BJP State President Jugal Kishore Sharma while addressing a meeting of the party leaders and workers at R.S.Pura today.
Mr Sharma said that the party at the national level has chalked out a programme of  “jail bharo andolan” which will be held at each district  to  seek PM’s resignation for country’s biggest scams like Coalgate Scam, 2-G Scam, CWG and other such scams which shook the whole nation and invited anger and resentment among the people. In view of these scams, the PM, being head of the UPA coalition, should immediately resign owing moral responsibility but he has not done so which has lowered the dignity of the office of the Prime Minister, he added.
Later in the day,  State general secretary & ex-MLA Bali Bhagat, while chairing a joint meeting of district presidents and District Prabharis of Jammu Mahanagar, Akhnoor and R.S. Pura districts at party headquarters, discussed the strategy of the programme and said that under scheduled “jail bharo andolan” which is to start on June 17,  BJP activists of these three districts will sit on protest at Pt. Premnath Dogra Chowk at Jammu  and thereafter court arrests. He also held meeting with the BJYM state president Ravinder Raina to ensure participation of youth in large number.
Jammu Mahanagar distt. president Rajesh Gupta, Akhnoor distt. president Sukhdev Singh, R.S.Pura district president Sat Pal Pappy, Akhnoor district prabhari Sakina Bano, Jammu District Prabhari Rajni Sethi and R.S.Pura District Prabhari Parmodh Kapahi took part in the meeting.
