KATHUA, Aug 21: The activists of Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan Party (DSSP) held a protest demonstration in front of District Development Commissioner’s office here, today against the house arrest of party chief and former Minister, Ch Lal Singh.
The DSS activists who assembled in front of DDC office here shouted slogans against the house arrest of their party chief and termed the same as illegal. The protestors demanded that Ch Lal Singh be allowed to move freely who is under house arrest since August 7. The Government action has generated a lot of resentment among DSS activists in particular and people of Jammu region in general, they added.
The protestors later handed over a memorandum to DDC Kathua, Raghav Langer demanding that the restrictions imposed on the party leader be lifted immediately and he be allowed to meet his party activists and people.

The memorandum read “ Ch. Lal Singh, chairman of DSSP, former MP and Minister has been placed under house arrest since 7th August 2019. His house arrest equates him to the separatists, which is highly derogatory, unbearable and against the popular sentiments of the Jammu region. Our leader is a nationalist to the core and supports the abrogation of Article 370 and 35 A . It is not out of place to mention that our leader has always stood with nation and fought for cause of Jammu region. The detention has caused massive unrest across Jammu region, which may go against the national efforts to restore peace in the region”.
It further said that the Kathua Unit of DSSP demands immediate release of the party leader to restore the public faith.
