launching a scathing attack on Bharatiya Janata Party and its local stooges in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, former legislator and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Balwant Singh Mankotia has said that government employees were forced to participate in the Palli rally of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, which he said is an unfortunate move.
Mankotia was addressing a party meet at Kathua in which several new faces joined the party. In his address, Mankotia said that government employees faced pressure tactics from the authorities to join the rally and to bring people for which even the buses of RTC [government-run service] were sent in different corners of J&K.
He said it was done in an attempt to show a state of ‘everything good’ in Jammu and Kashmir which otherwise is not a reality, Mankotia added.—KMS
