LAKHANPUR/PUNJAB - In keeping with the law and order situation, scores of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists including party veterans Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj, Ananth Kumar and Anurag Thakur were taken into custody under Section 144 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) while marching towards Jammu and Kashmir from Punjab to carry on with the plans of hoisting the national flag at Srinagar's Lal Chowk on Republic Day.

LAKHANPUR - More than 300 BJP workers, including top leaders Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj, entered Jammu and Kashmir as part of the party's controversial flag-hoisting march to Srinagar and were arrested for violating orders prohibiting gathering of five or more people.

LAKHANPUR - Police columns with armoured vehicles were Monday moving around and all incoming buses being checked at Lakhanpur, the gateway to the state, which resembles a battle zone ahead of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) planned march to Srinagar's Lal Chowk Jan 26 that the government has vowed to prevent.
