The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) workers were detained outside their party headquarters in Jammu, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, shortly after they tried to take out a protest rally on various issues, including attempts to settle outsiders in the territory.

The PDP activists, who were chanting slogans against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), also ex-pressed their anger over the installation of smart electricity meters.

Led by general secretary Amreek Singh Reen, dozens of PDP leaders and workers came out of the party headquarters at Gandhi Nagar and started marching towards the nearby Jammu-Airport road. However, a strong police contingent stopped the protesters and took several of them into preventive custody, an official said.

The PDP Jammu president (youth) Pervez Waffa, who was among those detained, condemned the police action and said his party would not stay silent when people from outside are being settled in Jammu and Kashmir.—KMS
