A group of NPP activists gathered outside the headquarters of the State Election Commission to lodge their protest over the delay in assembly polls.
Activists of the National Panthers Party (NPP) on Monday staged a protest here against the BJP and the Election Commission of India for not holding assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir. Led by their president Harsh Dev Singh, a group of NPP activists gathered outside the headquarters of the State Election Commission (SEC) to lodge their protest over the delay in assembly polls.
"We are holding this protest to highlight the murder of democracy in Jammu and Kashmir over the past five years by the ruling BJP... The ECI has surrendered before the BJP and is depriving the people of a democratically elected government," Mr Singh, a former minister, told reporters.
He claimed that the elections have been delayed at the behest of the BJP on one pretext or the other during the last five years.
