JAMMU: : Kranti Dal has taken strong exception to the attitude of the State K Government and district administration for deliberately harassing the Amarnath Yatris arriving from different states of India by dividing families citing token system and has warned the administration to stop harassing Hindus and discriminating Jammuites.
To show their anger, Krandi Dal activists held a protest near Hari Market, here on Wednesday.
Addressing the gathering, State President, Kranti Dal, Pritam Sharma said that Jammuites have been facing the heat of a worst kind as on one hand business of Jammuites was being dented and on the other hand Amarnath Yatris were being harassed by dividing families during Yatra due to quota system in tokens.
He said that a number of hurdles were being created for smooth Yatra as the fourth bridge on Tawi was closed and traffic diverted to city area creating a mess in the city.
One group of Amarnath pilgrims including Chandresh Modi and Nirivj Patel and the other who came to Jammu from Gujarat for Holy Darshan of Baba Amarnath were also present in the protest as they are being harassed by the administration due to token system.
Sharma added that government has initiated loot in Jammu while on the other hand the basic facilities like water and electricity were not provided to the people who pay most of the taxes and tariff in Jammu.
Demanding revocation of token system, he said most of the Yatris have cancelled their trip after administration tried to divide the families during Yatra through token system.
Sharma said that if the government fails to take measures immediately Kranti Dal would resort to major agitation in Jammu.
