Protests in Jammu over vandalisation of Hindu temple in Kashmir

Jammu, October 04, 2021 (PPI-OT): In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, protests were held in Jammu against the authorities for failing to protect the religious places of Hindus in Kashmir after ancient Bargheshekha Bhagwati Mata Temple was vandalised by miscreants in Islamabad district of the territory.

 

Hundreds of Kashmiri Pandit migrants, activists of Bajrang Dal, Shiv Sena, Dogra Front and several other organisations held protests at various places in the city demanding that the culprits be brought to justice. They also demanded protection for the religious places of the Hindus in the Valley.

 

“We demand security around all temples in Kashmir. If our temples are not protected and our people are not safe in the Valley, how will KPs return to their homeland?,” said Sohan Lal of the Jagti camp.

 

“We want protection of all temples. The government is unconcerned about the incident,” said Bajrang Dal activist, Rakesh Kumar. The Prem Nath Bhat Memorial Trust (PNBMT) also condemned the incident and demanded the arrest of the culprits.
