Narayan Singh, President Amar Khatriya Rajput Sabha will be the Special Chief Guest.
Samiti expressed serious concern over the situation created by the anti-national elements to disturb the Amarnath Yatra and failure of the government to deal with it.
“Government also failed to fulfill the implementation of the agreement entered into between the Samiti and then government, even after the lapse of complete eight years,” he said.
Samiti also condemned the recent incidents of attack and stone pelting on the Amarnath pilgrims and particularly on the oil tankers supplying fuel to the Valley and demanded stern action against the responsible anti-national elements.
Samiti also warned the government that if such activities of the anti-national elements are not checked forthwith, the Samiti will be compelled to adopt the agitation path.
