Jammu witnessed strong protests against leaders accused of making pro-Pakistan statements, with activists of Shiv Sena Dogra Front and Rashtriya Bajrang Dal taking to the streets, burning an effigy of Pakistan and raising slogans against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. The protesters demanded strict action against individuals who, despite living in India, allegedly support Pakistan through their statements and actions. The demonstrations come amid growing anger over recent terror-related incidents, including the reported attack on a CRPF camp in Kulgam district and the killing of two Special Police Officers (SPOs) in the Dachhan-Marwah area of Kishtwar.

Leading the protest, Shiv Sena Dogra Front president Ashok Gupta strongly criticised leaders accused of making pro-Pakistan statements and demanded that the government take firm action against such individuals. He alleged that such statements undermine national security and give encouragement to anti-national elements. He asserted that people supporting Pakistan while living in India should face strict action under the law.

Meanwhile, Rashtriya Bajrang Dal president Rakesh Bajrangi also addressed the protest, blaming Pakistan for the recent terror-related incidents in Jammu and Kashmir. He alleged that recent statements by Dr. Farooq Abdullah had emboldened terrorist elements and demanded strict action against terrorist Over Ground Workers (OGWs), local facilitators and individuals allegedly supporting militancy in the Union Territory.

The protesters accused Pakistan of repeatedly attempting to disturb peace and normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly whenever the security situation begins to improve. They urged the Central Government to adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and take stringent action against terror masterminds operating from across the border.

The demonstrators also demanded a comprehensive crackdown on the entire terror-support network, including Over Ground Workers allegedly providing shelter, intelligence, logistical assistance and other support to terrorist groups. They maintained that eliminating armed terrorists alone would not be sufficient unless those facilitating and supporting their activities are also identified and brought to justice.

The protesters called for decisive action against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism as well as individuals allegedly supporting anti-national activities from within the country, asserting that national security and lasting peace in Jammu and Kashmir must remain the government’s top priority.
