Expressing his views on this occasion, state president of BJP education cell Dr Vibhrat Chand Kaushik strongly condemned the leaders and political parties for opposing the death sentenced to Afzal Guru and approaching for mercy. Kaushik said that it was unfortunate that left party was supporting mercy for Afzal.
Similar programme was also organised at Barhalganj, where the BJP activists organised a dharna at Ambedkar crossing along with Hindu Yuva Vahini activists and hanged Afzal effigy. They also burnt the effigy of former J& K chief minister Farooq Abdullah. Expressing his views on this occasion state secretary of Vishwa Hindu Mahasangh and state president of Hindu Vahini, Sunil Singh demanded to lodge anti-national cases on Farooq Abdullah for his support to the mercy petition.
Coordinator of Parishad Durgesh Tripathi and Brijesh Kumar Tripathi said that the chief minister of J&K Ghulam Nabi Azad and Congress President Sonia Gandhi have insulted the martyrs and supported the mercy appeal of Afzal.
