BJP youth workers disrupt separatist leader’s press meet

JAMMU - Activists of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth wing of Bharatiya Janata Party, disrupted a press meet of separatist leader Shabir Ahmad Shah in Jammu Thursday.

The BJYM activists tried to assault Shabir Ahmad Shah, the president of the Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party and a member of the executive council of All Party Hurriyat Conference, who was released late Wednesday night.

They also tried to assault him for the anti-India noises he was making.

“Anti-India noises will not be tolerated,” shouted activists of the BJYM as they vandalised the furniture of a local hotel where Shah was to address media.

Order was restored with the intervention of police and Shabir later addressed the media.
