Carrying placards in their hands, they raised slogans against J&K UT administration. “The LG administration is working against downtrodden and marginalised people of Jammu and Kashmir, which is intolerable. We demand roll back of this unjust land notification. It seems that BJP controlled administration is planning escape route for big sharks involved in land mafia business by uprooting poor and landless people,” Shahnawaz said while addressing media after protest.
JKPCC general secretary further said that LG administration should frame fair and rational policy to save small and marginal farmers, poor people from getting uprooted after this irrational and illogical land notification.
“Congress party will start wide agitation and intensify it, if BJP controlled apparatus will not withdraw this unjust and irrational land order,” Shahnawaz asserted.
After staging protest demonstration for about an hour, the Congress activists dispersed.
