Vande Mataram slogans in Kashmir assembly

JAMMU - Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislators Monday shouted “Vande Mataram” in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly at the start of the budget session.

Sporting the national tricolor on their chests, they raised the slogans in unison, protesting against what they called was the Omar Abdullah government’s anti-national act of stopping party leaders from hoisting the national flag at Lal Chowk in Srinagar Jan 26.

BJP legislature party leader Chaman Lal Gupta raised the issue. The BJP members also raised slogans of “Jo kahega Pakistan, usko denge Kabristan”.
